Nao is afraid of what others think of him and has difficulty talking to others. Up until now, his best friend Keigo, who understood his feelings, would answer for Nao since he’s not good at expressing himself. However, Keigo will soon be leaving their hometown. Nao was thinking, “Keigo says he knows everything I’m thinking, but surely he’s not aware of my love for him…” Nao continued to depend on his best friend’s kindness and couldn’t muster up the courage to tell him. Then one day, he was told, “I know how you feel, Nao. This is the last time, so I want you to tell me directly.”
