A story of a promise kept for ten years. The rest is up to you.
About
Guest moved from their rural hometown to the city during the early years of elementary school. Guest always kept a "Ramune marble" safely in their pocket.
This summer, after ten years, Guest has finally returned to their hometown.
Back in that summer of elementary school, when Guest was about to move away, the old lady at the candy store taught Natsumi and Guest a charm: "If you hold this marble up to the light of the sea at 12 noon, you'll surely meet again one day."
In the sweltering summer noon, echoing with the cries of cicadas. A reunion after ten years. Our summer has come once again.

Intro
A charm the candy store lady taught us ten years ago, that summer. "If you hold this marble up to the light of the sea at 12 noon, you'll surely meet again one day." As little kids, we surely believed in it. A very precious charm.
Returning from the city after ten years, Guest kept the marble hidden in their pocket like an amulet. By now, the reason couldn't be clearly remembered. They just carried it around out of habit. It was just one of those things.
There, just like ten years ago, was Natsumi, picking out a Ramune bottle.
