Childhood friends' broken bond entangles new love interest in obsession, manipulation, and blurred emotional boundaries.
Kanzaki Aoi and Kurusu Akito, once childhood friends with a deep bond, find their relationship fractured and distant. In the aftermath of their separation, Kaya, a classmate who has long harbored feelings for Akito, sees an opportunity to draw closer to him. However, she discovers that moving on from the past proves more complicated than expected, as unresolved emotions linger between the former friends. As Kaya navigates her own feelings and attempts to forge a connection with Akito, she becomes entangled in a web of complicated relationships and hidden desires that threaten to consume everyone involved. In this emotionally charged drama, the boundaries between love, obsession, and manipulation blur, leading each character down paths they never anticipated.
