Synopsis
Traumatized teen Kazumi, scarred by childhood tragedy, cautiously reconnects through friendship while past darkness threatens to resurface.
Kazumi Ichinose carries deep emotional scars from a traumatic childhood incident that shattered his innocence and trust in others. The event left him withdrawn and isolated, building walls around his heart that no one could penetrate. Now in high school, Kazumi has managed to form a small circle of just two close friends. Among them is the bright and energetic Shino Yotsuya, whose genuine warmth and persistent kindness slowly begins to chip away at the protective shell he's built around himself. As their friendship deepens, Kazumi finds himself cautiously opening up to the possibility of connection once more. However, shadows from his past linger, threatening to resurface in unexpected ways. The darkness that once shattered his world may not be as distant as he hoped, as unresolved emotions and dangerous fixations begin to stir once again.
Kazumi Ichinose's first love was brutally killed before his very eyes. Blood pooled around her lifeless body, her eyes vacantly stared into nothing, and her murderer laughed over the fresh carcass in glee. Though they were all only in elementary school, the perpetrator was Saki Midou, a girl whose timid and sweet appearance belied a vicious and lovesick killer. Though Midou was detained, this event scarred Kazumi, causing him to gradually shut himself out from the world. Now in high school, he has only two friends, one of whom is the lively and cheerful Shino Yotsuya. Through her hard work and honest feelings, Yotsuya is able to break through the barrier Kazumi built around himself, but their budding relationship marks the start of a harrowing future. Midou's obsession led her to murder all those years ago, and it seems history may be repeating itself. She is out to prove that Kazumi's heart belongs to her alone, no matter who stands in her way, and even Kazumi himself may not be safe from her twisted rendition of "love."
