Synopsis
Nana, new at Kaede Inn, fears Nyu resembles a terrifying figure from her past while Nyu's memories resurface.
Having been accepted into the Kaede Inn, Nana struggles to find her place among its unusual residents. While her earnest attempts to help often lead to comedic mishaps, a deeper concern weighs on her mind: the gentle, childlike girl named Nyu bears an unsettling resemblance to someone from Nana's past—a figure whose very name once inspired fear. As Nana wrestles with these conflicting emotions, she must decide whether to trust in the peaceful life she's found at the inn or let old fears dictate her future. Meanwhile, fragments of memory begin to surface for Nyu, hinting at a complex past she herself doesn't fully understand.
