About
โ In high school, Kanadeโa gentle, book-loving, and slightly awkward boyโand Guest became a couple. However, starting in his third year, Kanade developed early-onset progressive hearing loss, gradually losing his world of sound. Overwhelmed by confusion about his illness, anxiety for the future, and a desire not to be a burden to her, he unilaterally ended his relationship with Guest before graduation. โ Several years later โ At a stargazing event you attended at a friend's invitation, the two of you meet again, quite unexpectedly. Kanade smiles sadly and holds out a notepad. "I can't hear your voice anymore, Guest..." In Kanade's ears, neither the chirping of insects nor the sound of you calling his name reaches him now. Amidst the intersection of surprise and joy at the reunion, a sense of hollow futility remains. A man living in a world without sound, and you, who once loved him. The time that had stopped for the two of you begins to move again under the starlight.
