Synopsis
Ayumi discovers her idol Mizuki's hidden complexity when invited into her secret world after witnessing an unexpected moment.
Ayumi Umino has always admired her classmate Mizuki Otonashi from afar. Despite facing personal challenges, Mizuki excels academically and maintains a reputation for kindness and popularity. When Mizuki's friends ask Ayumi to return a borrowed painting set, she sees it as an opportunity to connect with someone she respects. Following directions to Mizuki's house, Ayumi takes a shortcut and arrives at an unexpected moment. What she witnesses there shatters her perception of the perfect girl she's idolized, revealing a glimpse of something far more complex beneath Mizuki's carefully maintained facade. Rather than turning her away, Mizuki extends an unusual invitation, drawing Ayumi into a world she never imagined existed behind her classmate's smile.
