Because of his hearing loss, Kōhei is often misunderstood and has difficulty integrating into campus life, so he learns to keep his distance. Until he meets the straightforward and cheerful Taichi. He tells Kōhei that his hearing loss is not his fault. Taichi's words cut through Kōhei's usual defense mechanisms and opened his heart. More than friendship, less than love, their relationship changed Kōhei forever.
