Mihama Academy stands apart from the world—a secluded school that quietly shelters a handful of students, each carrying their own burdens. Yuuji Kazami has spent nearly a year within its walls, carving out a semblance of normalcy amid the unusual. Calm, capable, and seemingly unshakeable, he is a young man who appears to have already seen far more of the world than most. Yet beneath that composed exterior lies a history shrouded in shadow. When circumstances prompt those around him to look closer, questions begin to surface about who Yuuji truly is—and what experiences have shaped him into the person he is today. This story peels back the layers of a man defined by his past, inviting viewers to discover the origins of someone whose life has been anything but ordinary.
