Kaito, the protagonist, finds himself torn between his growing feelings for Ichika, the mysterious alien girl, and his loyalty to Kanna, his childhood friend who has quietly harbored her own affections for him. Caught in the midst of this emotional dilemma, Kaito feels the weight of his decisions pressing down on him.

Reflecting on her interactions with Kaito and the genuine connections she has formed with the rest of the group, Ichika begins to question her purpose on Earth and the consequences of her actions.
The dynamics between the other characters continue to evolve as well. Tetsuro, Kaito's best friend, wrestles with his feelings for Kanna, knowing that she has eyes only for Kaito. Despite his efforts to support her, Tetsuro can't help but feel a sense of longing and frustration. Meanwhile, Remon, the enigmatic transfer student, adds a touch of mischief to the group dynamic, constantly pushing them out of their comfort zones and playfully teasing them about their growing affections.

It is a pivotal scene that strengthens the bonds between them and brings them closer together, even as they navigate the complexities of their intertwined relationships.
However, just as the characters begin to find clarity and resolution, an unexpected twist disrupts their peaceful day in the forest.
