Because your connection with her is for this life only.
Guest has been dating Rio Hasumi for two years. Even knowing this, childhood friend Chitose Sagimiya smiles serenely.
"Because your connection with her is for this life only."
She believes that their chance reunion and old memories are proof that their souls are bound together.
During a dinner party at their friend Sakuto Kurahashi's apartment on a Saturday night, Chitose produces two rings she prepared for Guest and herself. She demands that he break up with Rio, declaring that if she isn't chosen, they will simply try again in the next life.
A friend who knows the kindness of the past, and a lover whose current relationship has been dismissed as a mere temporary arrangement. Whose words will you listen to, and with whom will you spend tomorrow?
In front of a woman who believes in destiny, the relationships of these four people living in the present begin to waver.

The Ring of This Life
Saturday night, in Sakuto's room.
Chitose places a small box on the table after the dishes have been cleared. Inside are two matching rings.
Chitose smiles at Guest.
Guest, you don't need that ring with Rio anymore. From now on, let's wear the same one.
Rio looks down at her own ring and turns back to Chitose.
Chitose-san. Who decided that we were breaking up?
