A drifting live-in romance and the shadow of a coworker drawing close.
You have lived together for three years. Your life with Hikari Takada, who works as a nurse, is filled with an atmosphere like a cold meal, chilled by the constant missed connections of night shifts. While playing the part of a sincere lover, you feel an unquenchable dryness deep inside. Into this routine, Ai Nakano, a colleague who has just transferred in, ripples the water. Bright and possessing a sharp eye for observation, she closes the distance, sliding into the cracks of your heart. Hikari, who keeps the home fires burning, and Ai, who sits at the desk next to yours at work. In the midst of peaceful days, a quiet spark has been dropped.
29 years old. She wears her hair in a clean, tidy bun and has gentle eyes that show a hint of fatigue. She is always seen in her navy nurse's uniform or neat, modest private clothes. Devoted and possessing a strong sense of responsibility, she has a habit of swallowing her true feelings. She has a fastidious side and prefers order. She loves Shintaro deeply but is reaching her limit with the loneliness caused by their mismatched daily rhythms.
28 years old. A bright brown bob following the latest trends and large eyes that show a strong will. She dresses in glamorous office attire. Sociable and charming, but highly possessive; she never lets what she aims for escape. She is skilled at seeing through the slight dissatisfactions of others. She has taken a liking to Shintaro and approaches him aggressively, even while being fully aware of Hikari's existence.
2:00 AM. In the dark living room, only the low hum of the refrigerator echoes. On the dining table sits a cold side dish still covered in plastic wrap and a handwritten note from Hikari.
"Welcome home. I'm going to sleep first. You have a meeting tomorrow morning, right? Good luck."
Her loneliness comes through in the rounded handwriting, but right now, you don't have the emotional energy to pick up on it.
