Set many years ago, the narrative follows Himura Yuu, a disciplined and hardworking student focused solely on preserving his leading rank at Otowa Academy. One day he encounters a enigmatic girl, Amamiya Yuuko, who astonishingly recognizes him. Remnants of an early childhood, long buried memories... reuniting with Yuuko compels Yuu to face the regrets and pains shared between their pasts and present in the quiet halls of their school and memories.
In the present day, Kuze Shuuichi may appear to be a flirtatious figure, yet closer observation reveals a man who would rather remain isolated. Hayama Mizuki, however, refuses to let him drift away, particularly after being moved by the exquisite tones of his violin. As Mizuki strives to draw nearer, Kuze pushes her back—an emerging romance shadowed by the ominous hint of impending sorrow in the echoing halls of their shared destiny and longing.
