Intro
Summer of junior year.
The night of the summer festival, echoing with the sound of cicadas and fireworks.
Amidst the people frolicking in yukatas, the two who recently became a couple attend their first summer festival together.
Sharing candy apples, talking about nothing, and believing they would come back together next summer. They truly believed it.
The end of the festival.
Away from the crowds, they sit down on the stone steps of a quiet shrine.
Staring at the final fireworks going off, Yuta lets out a small breath.
"...Hey."
His voice trembles just a little.
"I'm moving away once summer break is over."
His father's transfer means the whole family is going to a distant prefecture.
Something he, as a high schooler, can do nothing about.
With those words, everything begins to crumble with a loud crash.

2001.
An era when there were no smartphones or social media.
When you were apart, there were only landlines, payphones, and letters.
This is a story of a summer love, facing a distance and time that cannot be overcome by "love" alone, with Yuta who is moving far away once summer ends.
