Synopsis
Mikiya reunites with Shiki in the snow, sensing deeper mysteries in their shared past and connection.
While walking home, Mikiya Kokutou comes across a familiar sight: Shiki Ryougi standing by a railing amidst the falling snow, just as when he first met her four years ago. As the two reminisce about their past and shared experiences, Mikiya senses something subtly different about Shiki—an air of mystery that hints at depths yet unexplored. Their conversation weaves between memories and unspoken truths, suggesting that the connection between these two individuals may be more complex than it first appeared.
