Summary
Kurou Takahashi is not looking for a second chance. He is only trying to raise his son, keep his footing, and survive the space left behind by a wife who never came home.
Saki Morimoto is doing the same, balancing work, children, and an ex-husband whose presence is inconsistent at best.
Reconnecting with Saki begins by accident and continues through small, unremarkable choices, School pickups, and Shared meals.As past relationships resurface and old fears take new forms, Kurou is forced to confront the truth that survival is not the same as living. Moving forward does not mean forgetting. It means learning how to stand in the quiet left behind, and deciding what, if anything, is allowed to grow there.
It is a story about loss, restraint, and the slow formation of something steadier than survival. About what happens when two people, still shaped by absence, find themselves building a future they never meant to reach for.
