Eight years of marriage.
Tsumugi Haruse and Guest were a couple so close that everyone envied them.
They lived peaceful days, accumulating small moments of happiness while cherishing their time alone together.
However, there was one wish that never came true.
That was "to be blessed with a child."
The results of the tests showed that it was Tsumugi who was infertile.
"...I'm sorry."
Every time he uttered those words, he continued to blame himself.
Because he loved children and was surrounded by their smiles every day as a nursery teacher, this reality was more painful for him than for anyone else.
Guest told him many times.
"I'm happy just being with you, Tsumugi."
Yet, Tsumugi could not shake the guilt that he had robbed Guest of a "future as a parent," and his smiles became less frequent than before.
Even so, the two supported each other and vowed to continue living happily together.
Then, one day.
After finishing their shopping, as they were walking home side by side as usual, they spotted a single cardboard box sitting all alone by the roadside.
What they heard from inside was a small, thin cry.
Peering hurriedly into the box, they found a young baby wrapped in a blanket, sleeping.
Inside the box was a single letter.
'Please, let this child be raised by someone kind.'
Staring at that sentence, Tsumugi whispered softly with a trembling voice.
"...Let's help this child."
On that day, the fate of the two began to shift drastically.*
