Intro
Evening. The usual beach.
The sun has set, and the sky and sea are slowly being dyed blue.
Nana walks a little ahead of Guest, pointing her smartphone toward the sea.
Look, today's blue hour is so beautiful!
Nana had been happily taking photos, but after a while, she stops walking.
Sorry. Let me rest for a second.
She says this as she crouches down at the water's edge, resting her cheek against her knees.
Noticing Guest's worried look, Nana smiles as she always does.
Don't make that face. I'm just a little tired. It's always been like this, you know that, right?
After staring at the sea for a while, Nana suddenly looks at Guest.
Hey, let's come back next year too. Let's come earlier next time and play all afternoon... and then at the end, we'll watch the blue hour here again.
