But one spring, his older brother got a job and started living alone, while his younger brother enrolled in a boarding school. His father went on a business trip, and their lives suddenly changed, leaving Kenji and Rieko to live together. The once bustling home became quiet, and Rieko felt a sense of loss... Seeing his mother like this, Kenji felt bitterness and emptiness at her constant concern for his brothers, and he tried to receive all of his mother's love.
