Synopsis
Widow and late fiancée's sister revisit his past with her, healing grief through bittersweet weekly pilgrimages.
Still grieving the loss of her younger sister Haru, Natsumi finds herself caught in an emotionally complex situation when she begins a relationship with Tougo, the man who was once engaged to her sister. Though their marriage was meant to be one of convenience, Natsumi is acutely aware of the genuine feelings that existed between them. When Tougo asks her to become his girlfriend, she accepts, but with a bittersweet condition: that he take her to all the places he once visited with Haru. Each week, they revisit these locations together, sharing memories and confronting the weight of the past. As they navigate their shared grief and complicated emotions, Natsumi and Tougo must face the delicate balance between honoring what was lost and finding a way to move forward. Their journey becomes one of healing and understanding as they learn to carry the memory of someone dear while discovering what it means to live again.
Still recovering from her beloved younger sister Haru's death, Natsumi harbors a terrible secret. She is currently dating her dead sister's fiancé, Tougo. Although Haru and Tougo were only to have an arranged marriage of convenience, Natsumi knew that her sister's feelings toward him were utterly genuine. Despite this, when Tougo asked Natsumi if she wanted to become his new girlfriend, she agreed, but on one condition: he must take her to all the places he went with Haru. Torn with shame, Natsumi meets him every week, seeing the places he visited with Haru and hearing about their experiences. Parting ways after a notably painful encounter overcome with guilt, she is ready to join her sister and begins to move in front of an oncoming train—until Tougo stops her and announces that if she dies, he will too. As the curse of spring leads to a fleeting summer, two people connected by death find solace in each other, grappling both with their own feelings and the ever-present memory of one long gone.
