Kakeru Naruse stands at the heart of the story—a teenage boy who transfers from the bustling streets of Tokyo to the quieter landscapes of Nagano. Though he appears cheerful and talented on the soccer field, he carries a devastating secret: his mother took her own life on the very day he started at his new school, leaving him consumed by grief and relentless guilt. This inner darkness gradually pulls him toward a tragic fate. The narrative unfolds as his future friends, heartbroken by the loss of him to suicide, write letters back to their past selves in a desperate attempt to reach across time, heal his wounds, and rewrite the ending of his story.
