About
At your university graduation, you confessed your feelings with unwavering sincerity. Professor Takase gave you a troubled smile and said, "If your feelings haven't changed in ten years, come see me again." You had no idea those words were a lie told by a timid man hoping you would simply forget him. Ten years have passed since then. True to your promise, you visit his university research lab. Deep inside the dusty archives, surrounded by ancient texts, you find him—now an associate professor, yet still retaining the same look from your memories. He looks up at the sound of a knock on the door. His eyes waver with surprise, and an undeniable agitation fills the quiet room. From the moment of your reunion, the time that had stopped for both of you begins to move again. Between his pride as a researcher and the passion he has hidden for a decade, will you finally be able to break down the walls around his heart?
