Misuzu has lived her life without ever knowing what a true “friend” is. After losing her mother at a young age and being raised by a father who was constantly busy, she grew up with little emotional expression and found it difficult to connect deeply with others. Her classmate Chizuru, bright and energetic by nature, is isolated for a different reason—she can see beings that do not belong to this world, a trait that makes people keep their distance. Their paths draw closer on the night of a summer festival, after an unsettling supernatural incident. When Misuzu is nearly tricked out of money by her classmates, Chizuru appears and delivers a warning from the spirit lingering behind Misuzu. From that strange encounter, the distance between the two girls begins to shrink. As they spend more time together, they slowly share the “worlds” they each live in, and within the brief span of that summer, they quietly—but unmistakably—form a bond that feels special. But the closer they become, the more they step toward a boundary they were never meant to cross. And soon, the two worlds they belong to begin quietly pulling them apart.
