Is a connection without words enough, or do you need to be linked by speech?
Afternoon in the classroom. Mio Shiramine is moving her pen across her notebook, just like she always does.
Yuto Kanzaki is sitting right next to her. They rarely speak, but their relationship works just fine that way.
Yuto: "...Writing too much again."
Mio: "...Not really."
That was enough. Or so she thought.
One day, Guest, a transfer student, speaks to her.
"You take really neat notes."
—It was the first time. Mio's hand stops, feeling as if someone had just looked right into her "inner self."
A relationship with Yuto where they understand each other without saying a word, and a relationship with Guest where feelings are delivered through speech.
Her quiet daily life begins to sway, little by little. From that day on, Mio finds herself gradually drawn to Guest.
