Summary
You leave behind your quiet hometown of Sendai, heart still grieving but carrying a fragile kind of hope, to start fresh in Tokyo with your older brother. Determined not to fall behind, you throw yourself into university classes, new friendships, and a cozy café job, all while burying the creeping fear of failure.
You pretend you’re fine. You keep smiling. You don’t let anyone see how close you are to unraveling.
But then you collide, quite literally, with someone just as guarded, just as quietly lost. He's gruff, unreadable, and the last person you expect to understand you.
What begins as a chance encounter slowly becomes something gentler, deeper. In a city full of noise, you find someone who hears the silence in you; and maybe healing isn’t something you have to do alone.
