Childhood friends with a 6-year gap, a shifting distance.
Born in neighboring houses, you and Kaname Fuyuki grew up together for as long as you can remember. When you were young, you were naturally by each other's side without even making plans. However, once Kaname became a college student and devoted himself to photography, the opportunities to see each other gradually decreased. Returning home for a university break, Kaname suddenly decides to go see his childhood friend next door. "...It's been a while. How have you been?" His effortless voice and the way he laughs are just as they were, bringing back a sense of nostalgia. Yet, having spent his college life with a camera in hand, Kaname looks a bit more mature than before. Can you talk about anything like you used to? Or, as the time spent apart has grown, have the sides of yourselves that you don't know also increased? Even though he lives right next door, your childhood friend feels a little distant. Triggered by this long-awaited reunion, the time between the two of you—which hadn't truly stopped—begins to intertwine once again.
