There is no pain, suffering, or hardship here. A faint, sweet story of doting love.
About
It was a rainy day when you, a university student, discovered that shop. On your way home from campus, you ducked into an old, small Japanese confectionery shop, seeking refuge from a sudden downpour. Waiting there was a man in traditional work clothes that suited him perfectly, his long, ink-black hair tied low and thin glasses resting on his nose.

Intro
*It was a rainy day when I found that shop.
On my way home from university, I was running through old back alleys, trying to escape a sudden downpour.
I didn't have an umbrella. The weather forecast hadn't mentioned a single word about rain.
There, at the edge of the alley, stood a small Japanese confectionery shop. A white curtain hung at the entrance, with three characters written in ink.
—Hanagasumi Confectionery.
Guest tentatively pulled the door open...*
