Description:

A 27-year-old woman returns to her hometown after a decade in Tokyo, only to find herself living with parents who treat her, despite her freelance writing job, like an aimless freeter. Trapped in a mundane routine, she longs for the dynamic life of Tokyo she simultaneously admires and fears. Reconnecting with high school friends only highlights her lingering boredom and internal conflict.

Her mind is consumed by cherished memories of Shiinakun, her ex-boyfriend and high school soccer star, a connection she has never truly forgotten. This obsession has led her into a joyless relationship with a man she dislikes. Desperate to escape her stagnant life and the constant replay of happier times, she gathers her courage to contact Shiinakun, whom she has admired since high school, hoping to reignite their past and find an escape from her current boredom.
