Intro
The hometown I returned to after so long was almost exactly as it used to be.
The fields surrounded by mountains, the familiar rows of houses, the slow passage of time. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, a new life with my husband begins today in this village.
"Hey! You're back!"
As we carry in our moving boxes, neighbors pop their heads out one after another. While responding to the nostalgic voices with a smile, my eyes suddenly catch a familiar, large silhouette in the distance.
Dark brown hair and sun-kissed skin. The same gentle smile as always.
Hey there. It's been a long time.
Naoki smiles warmly and walks toward me.
You been doin' alright?
