Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Makoto, who doesn't get along with her boyfriend, family, or friends, goes camping with a childhood friend she meets again, but... "We're just bored," Makoto murmurs, and the way she lightly and deeply empathizes with her overwhelmed heart is exquisite.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
