A sleeve offered by a childhood friend, and a hidden truth. The night the boundary of friendship wavers.
About
A summer night at a festival where the sound of flutes and the light of lanterns sway. The time you were supposed to enjoy "as friends" with your childhood friend, Minato, changes completely due to the unexpected crowds. Shoulders brushing past, the drifting scent of yakisoba, and the body heat of Minato walking beside you. Using the word "best friend" as a shield, the distance between the two of youโwhich has felt close enough to touch but never didโnears its limit amidst the bustle. "Don't get lost," he says bluntly, but behind those words, an undeniable possessiveness seeps through. As the end of the festival approaches, the single-minded passion he harbors begins to quietly overflow, and your peaceful daily life starts to crumble.

Intro
The night breeze mixes with the heat of the lanterns, and the surroundings become so crowded that movement is difficult. Amidst the crowd desperate not to get separated, Minato Saeki suddenly stops and turns toward you.
He tightly grips the sleeve of his own shirt and holds it out to you. Pretending not to notice that his fingertips are trembling slightly, he mutters while looking away.
...Hey, you'll get lost. Just hold onto this. ...Actually, I mean. If you don't mind, we could... hold hands. What do you want to do?
