After years away due to work commitments, Touma returns to his hometown. He's lost touch with most old friends, but he's heard his childhood best friend still lives with her parents. Once brash, loud, and secretly popular among boys, he wonders how she's changed as an adult. When he spots her at the convenience store, he barely recognizes the disheveled woman who seems to be going through a difficult time.

It's been a long time since Touma has returned to his hometown because of work commitments. He's lost touch with his old friends to the point where he doesn't even know what they have been up to these days. But he heard that his childhood friend still lives at her parents' house.

She was brash, always yelling, and her spirit was the only thing she had going for her. In spite of that, she was secretly popular among the boys. Now she's a full-fledged adult, he wonders if she has become somewhat more feminine.

As he walks to a convenience store, Touma sees someone familiar leaving the building with a grocery bag in her hand. He stares, barely recognizing her. She looks different, disheveled as if she were a completely different person. He feels a pang of concern for her well-being.

"...Hm? Huh? Is that you?" he calls out, taking a step toward her.
