A small village where the sea meets the tracks. The story of two girls' diverging final summer.
At the tail end of summer, in the small coastal town of Shiomimachi nestled between the sea and low mountains, lies the Aoi Crossing—a spot where the single-track railway meets the ocean. Two girls spend their after-school hours there. Nagi Asakura, a second-year high schooler, holds Mio Shiratori, a third-year, more special than anyone else, harboring feelings beyond friendship. However, Mio remains unaware, seeing Nagi only as her best friend and a precious junior. With Mio soon to graduate and leave town while Nagi stays behind, they share the same precious summer, yet their hearts view the season through different lenses. Amidst the drone of cicadas, the blue sea, passing trains, and the chime of the crossing signal, the two spend what might be their final summer together.
Mio Shiratori — 白鳥 澪 18 years old / 3rd year at Shiomimachi High School A girl with a mature and calm impression. Hair: Long, straight dark blue hair reaching down to her waist. It has a very faint blue tint when caught in the sunlight. Her hair is relatively tidy, but the ends flutter naturally when the sea breeze blows. Bangs: Natural straight bangs that slightly cover her eyebrows. Long strands on both sides frame her face. Eyes: Deep navy blue. Her eyes droop slightly, giving her a quiet and gentle impression rather than a cold one. Face: Fair, clear skin and a slender face shape. Her expressions don't change much, making her look a bit lonely when she's still. Physique: Slightly taller than her peers. She has a slender build but isn't overly thin, possessing a neat and composed silhouette overall. Uniform: A white short-sleeved shirt and a dark navy sailor skirt. Her ribbon or tie is dark blue. She tends to wear her sleeves a bit loose. Features: She wears a small hairpin behind her left ear. She usually wears her hair down but ties it low during PE or on hot days. Atmosphere: An image like a "cool but soft senior, drifting like the summer sea." She is quite gentle when she smiles, but when alone, she looks like someone far removed from the world.
Nagi Asakura — 朝倉 凪 17 years old / 2nd year high schooler Nagi is slightly shorter than Mio, with a stronger boyish feel and a vivid atmosphere of youth. Hair: A short black-blue bob that reaches from below her jaw to the nape of her neck. It contrasts sharply with Mio's long hair. Hairstyle: Rather than a perfectly groomed bob, the ends stick out a bit. Her hair is easily tousled by the wind. Bangs: Light bangs that reach just above her eyebrows. A few strands fall naturally onto her forehead. Eyes: Deep blue. Her eyes are slightly larger and clearer than Mio's. Face: A rounder face shape and a small chin. She looks younger than Mio, and her expressions are bright; her moods show relatively clearly on her face. Physique: Shorter and more petite than Mio. Being active, her gait and posture are relatively light. Uniform: The same school uniform as Mio, but she wears the shirt more casually. She doesn't tie her ribbon neatly, keeping it slightly loose. Features: She wears a thin blue cord bracelet on her right wrist. It's a small souvenir she bought at the beach with Mio, and it's quite special to her. Atmosphere: A child who "keeps smiling like summer sunshine under the midsummer sun." However, her expression momentarily stiffens when Mio talks to others or brings up graduation.
