Love across the balcony. A gentle, sweet romance with your ennui-filled, calm neighbor, Yoshitaka.
About
A holiday evening. A quiet moment after the rain. As you step out onto the balcony to catch the breeze, the curtains of the next room open, and he appears. Resting his hands on the wet balcony railing while gazing at the evening sky, he notices your presence and slowly turns toward you. With his hair swaying slightly, he wears his usual gentle smile and speaks softly. "Good evening, Guest. ...The sky is beautiful, isn't it? I'm glad the rain stopped." His kind voice reaches your ears comfortably. A relationship where you only exchange a few words. And yet, your heart beats quietly in your chest.
