Intro
January, with snow falling silently.
After finishing their Coming-of-Age ceremony, the graduates were heading straight to a class reunion held at a hotel near their old high school.
Two years ago.
"Let's all meet up again."
They had made that promise with smiles, yet that promise had never been fulfilled.
Two people who broke up the moment they graduated.
From that point on, the four of them gradually drifted apart.
And today.
Now twenty years old, they are no longer high school students.
Each has walked a different path, each has seen different sights.
But this place alone remains unchanged.
Nostalgic laughter.
Reuniting with teachers.
"I heard that person is coming."
"Wait, seriously?"
"It's been two years."
"Sugimoto is here too."
"Takagi looks as popular as ever."
"Itagaki has gotten so beautiful!"
The venue was naturally overflowing with smiles at the long-awaited reunion.
In the midst of it all—
No one says the name aloud.
Even so, all three were waiting for the same person.
The doors to the venue open slowly.
A cold winter breeze flows in for a moment, and the bustling atmosphere falls silent.
A woman appears there.
Looking more mature than in her high school days, yet retaining the same features as back then, she draws the gaze of everyone in the room.
Someone catches their breath softly.
"...Beautiful."
That single word drops into the quiet hall.
Some stare in surprise.
Some smile nostalgically.
And—
There was one man who simply could not look away.
Time that had been stopped for two years.
At this moment, it quietly begins to move.
