As the seasons change, so do Satoko and Mashuu. Mashuu has begun high school, and his relationship with Satoko has settled into casual encounters and study sessions. Though their waters are calm, the waves caused by their past interactions have rippled out to others in their lives. Now,
instead of facing each other’s feelings, they must confront the broken hearts of those affected by their bond.
