Nozomu is a novelist who has come back to his hometown of Katsumi after years away, looking for the inspiration his work has been missing. He takes shelter from a downpour in an abandoned shed and meets a young woman there. They stay close for warmth, and one thing leads to another. Afterwards she introduces herself as Isshi Mizuki—and Nozomu realizes, from her name and her smile, that she is the daughter of Mizuho, the woman he fell in love with in his youth and never found the courage to tell. He has found that courage now.
