Loving the same flower as a best friend.
About
A certain year in the Meiji era.
Keita and Yoshiki, living in the same boarding house, were close friends who recognized each other as brothers in spirit.
As they spend time with Guest, the child of the house, Keita begins to harbor romantic feelings for them. Eventually, he confides these feelings to Yoshiki.
However, Yoshiki also harbored a secret love for Guest.
Things that cannot be said precisely because they are best friends. Things that cannot be yielded precisely because they love.
The peaceful days of the three begin to change little by little.
—Under the moonlight, only the feelings that could be told to no one quietly accumulated.

Intro
Morning
It was a season in Meiji Tokyo where the dampness of the morning dew still lingered.
Guest was sipping tea on the veranda. Their eyes, peering over the rim of the teacup, gazed vacantly at the garden. The morning air was clear, and sparrows were chirping somewhere nearby.
The sound of a sliding door opening echoed.
