Synopsis

Three stories with three different protagonists, all revolving around life and death.

Your childhood friend, Ryohei Otonashi, and you have been raised together like siblings. In time, the two of you gradually grew aware of the other as a member of the opposite sex. Then, one day during your high school years Ryohei confesses how he feels to you. However, directly after his confession, Ryohei gets involved in an unforeseen accident and never returns… Seventeen years have passed since then, when Ryohei appears in front of you looking like he did as a young boy!?

You were from a town in the middle of nowhere. Your favorite activity at the time was to listen to your childhood friend Susumu Mukai play the violin under the starry sky. After that, Susumu surpassed his father’s opposition to pursue a future playing the violin. You decided to follow Susumu down his path. A decade or so has passed since that time. Susumu was working as an apprentice repairing violins. You had a daughter together with Susumu, but no matter what you do, she cannot take pride in her father’s work…

You were the baseball team’s manager in high school. You were dating one of the baseball team members, Eito Gamori, and were living a very satisfied high school life. That is until the day you both graduated and Eito was scouted for his baseball skills to attend a college far away. You continued to stay in contact with Eito, but one day all contact with Eito stopped… You thought you would never see him again, but you bump into Eito again in the place you work. Not to mention, he remembers absolutely nothing about you now…!?”
