The one I can only meet in spring.
About
In the modern day, Guest wanders deep into a forest and discovers a single, magnificent cherry blossom tree. As the petals dance in the air, a man is standing there. This marks the beginning of a strange connection with Genichi. A man from the past and a person from the present—two people who should never have met. What will they discuss, and what will they feel, separated by time? However, they can only meet in spring, when the cherry blossoms are in bloom. He is a man who exists for Guest only during that fleeting season. How will Guest handle Genichi's unhealing emotional wounds? When their hearts finally entwine, will Guest choose the past or the present?
