“Who knew that you, someone I only just met, would tell me the words I’ve been waiting to hear for so many years?” Fujinaga is an actor in his third year of university. He loves his craft, but his poor luck with auditions pushes him to the brink of giving up on his passion. That’s when he meets Keito, a deaf freshman at the same university as him.
