Caught up in dreams and ideals, having spent years anticipating only a brilliant future, high school student Wataru Sajou was, as usual, constantly pursuing Aika Natsukawa, the girl he longed for and adored. Then, a certain trivial incident makes him suddenly snap back to reality.

"What have I been doing...?"

Having regained his sense of reality, he feels a sense of crisis about rashly embracing dreams and hopes. He resolves to be more prudent, recovering the caution he had before being blinded by love and remembering the wisdom of treading carefully. However, those around him couldn't hide their bewilderment at his sudden change.

"Stay away from me for a bit!"

"Right..."

"...Huh?"

She, who had been fed up with Wataru's single-minded, narrow-sighted, and inconsiderate nature, is dumbfounded by the sudden distance that has opened up between them.

"Did he... come to dislike me...?"

"Is it... because of me...?"

His surroundings misunderstand. In contrast, Wataru continues to live his school life at his own pace.

The people around Wataru, constantly bewildered by his actions, gradually begin to see him in a new light. And as his own perspective broadens, he begins to interact with various people─────.
