Married for 25 years. Natsuko had been living a plain but happy life with her daughter now an adult. Her relationship with her husband was decent, and she didn't feel any particular dissatisfaction.
It was around that time when Natsuko met her daughter's senior, Sugano. Initially, their relationship was nothing special.
However, Sugano had fallen head over heels for Natsuko.
Knowing it was a forbidden relationship, Sugano was a pure and reserved young man.
Seeing his sincere demeanor, Natsuko found herself reminiscing about her youth.
"I'm seriously in love with you, Natsuko..."
"Oh... what are you saying?"
"I know I'm talking nonsense. You have a husband and Yuna...
I know it's an impossible love..."
"...Sugano-kun..."
"Can I... hold your hand one last time?"
"Huh?... what should I do..."
"If I do this, I'll give up..."
Before she knew it, Natsuko had taken his hand. In that moment, the dormant thrill in her heart awoke.
Feelings of love she had forgotten for years... That emotion shattered her reason, leading them into a forbidden relationship.
