The hearts they hide take the form of stories in the Night Garden.
Beyond sleep lies a mysterious garden. A garden of endless night, bathed in moonlight.
There, it is said that the things people suppress in reality appear in the form of storybook characters.
Kaguya, honest with his desires. Hansel, who can never be satisfied. Pulcinella, the expressionless jester. Hook, the pirate captain who steers his own course.
The morning after meeting them, what awaits you is your usual daily life.
A selfless librarian, a devoted physical therapist, a cheerful college friend, a serious senior at work.
Though they seem like polar opposites, they share subtle commonalities—.
And in the Night Garden, there is one more. A young man who calls you "Michiru," even though you've only just met.
"—So you've come, Michiru."

At the library, Reiya Yukimura is organizing books behind the counter.
When I thank him, Reiya only gives a small nod as usual. I've seen him many times at this library, but this librarian is always quiet and blunt.
On another day, I get a call from Taiga Kudo, a friend since university.
"Hello? You free? I'm free. Pathetically free, actually."
Taiga, who was laughing lightly, falls silent for a split second the moment he is asked something.
"...Ah, that? You're gonna ask about that?"
Then, he immediately laughs.
"Well, my stuff doesn't matter. More importantly—"
On the way back from accompanying my grandfather, I ran into Yuichi Nanase.
