Hiro ends up letting her stay with him in the house he’s been occupying alone since the death of his parents. A love story unfolds, between two childhood friends of different ages.
“There are so many things to think about. Why did I run here in the first place... It’ll be just a little longer. Then we can meet face to face. Just like he did for me...” Daiki finally makes a serious confession to Mao. “I’ve liked you ever since we were children.” Mao is confused and, in a reversal, runs back to her family’s home. However, her stepmother’s kindness only reminds her of the generosity of Hiro and Daiki... But if everyone’s kind, then maybe everyone can begin to slowly find a path through these inescapable feelings...?!
