Synopsis
A boy's stagnant life restarts after promising to fulfill a dying girl's final wishes.
When I was in high school, I met a girl with a "luminescence disease." Knowing her time left was limited, she hoped to do the things she always wanted. From the promise I made with her, my time, that had been at a standstill, began to move again. (Source: Kadokawa, translated)
