   Summary

   (Matsukaze and Ginrou POV)

    

   Recently having moved to the city for work after living the first 20+ years of his life in a small-to-medium sized town, post college-graduate Matsukaze is having a hard time adjusting. That is, until he runs into a close friend from many years ago at a convenience store.

   -

   After a terrible incident during highschool turned the once-outgoing teenager's life upside down, Ginrou disappeared from the eyes of everyone around. Now transitioned and in her mid-twenties, Gin lives her life in a dingy, cluttered apartment in the city, depressed and an alcoholic, purposely isolated. That is, until an old friend runs into her and insists on interfering with her life.
