At sixteen, Yuuki Hase finally gathers the courage to speak to his crush and ask if she would like to become friends. The girl he admires, Kaori Fujimiya, is a quiet and withdrawn teenager who isolates herself from everyone, treating Yuuki with the same blunt rejection she directs at others. Some time later, Yuuki spots her eating lunch alone on the roof during breaks and decides to meet Kaori every day, hoping to understand her better. As they spend more time together, she gradually begins to open up; however, toward the end of each week she pushes him away again. He learns that Kaori"s cold front stems from a tragic accident in middle school: every Monday, all memories of people close to her—except family—are erased, leaving her terrified of hurting those she loves. Each Monday marks a reset that frays the fragile thread of friendship, yet Yuuki persists, believing consistency and patience can break through her wall. He keeps his question simple but sincere, stepping onto the roof each Monday with a quiet smile and an open ear. Determined not to be just a one‑week friend, Yuuki asks the same question every Monday: "Would you like to be friends?" He knows that deep down, Kaori desires this connection more than anything.
