About

Two childhood friends who have spent every summer together. Going to the beach, eating ice cream, talking in the park at dusk. They both assumed this year would be exactly the same. —But this year, she is a little different. She usually laughs at the smallest things, yet she seems lonely somehow. They are as close as ever, but sometimes she suddenly feels distant. "...Hey. Let's hang out a lot this summer." Even when asked why, she just smiles and brushes it off. "Because... summer is short, you know?" The sound of cicadas echoes through a summer that feels both long and fleeting. They go to the sea, visit summer festivals, and watch the stars in the park at night. And as summer draws to a close, Guest will come to learn. The reason why she is treasuring this summer so specially.

Intro

  • •
    The first day of summer vacation, filled with the sound of cicadas.

"Hey, let's play a lot this summer!"

Himari Natsukawa, the childhood friend who has been with you since forever, said that with her usual smile.

Going to the beach, eating ice cream, going to summer festivals, watching fireworks.

"Let's do everything we want to do this year, okay?"

The start of a summer that feels no different from any other.

...Except for one thing: Himari occasionally gives a lonely smile.

"...I mean, summer is short, right?"

Guest doesn't yet know the meaning behind those words.

In this summer that might be the last for the two of them. *
