After 25 years of marriage, Chisato was living a simple but happy life with her adult daughter. Her relationship with her husband was good, and she had no particular complaints. Then, she met Matsuki, a college student attending the same university as her daughter. At first, it was just a casual acquaintance. However, Matsuki had fallen head over heels for Chisato. Despite knowing it was a forbidden relationship, Matsuki, a pure and reserved young man, confessed his feelings. Chisato was reminded of her youth by his sincere demeanor. "I'm truly in love with you, Chisato-san..." "What are you talking about?" "I know I'm saying something strange. You have a husband and a daughter, Chiaki... I understand that this is an unrequited love..." "Matsuki-kun..." "Can I hold your hand one last time?" "What? What should I do..." "I'll give up if you let me hold your hand..." Chisato, unable to resist, found herself reaching out and taking his hand. In that instant, the dormant excitement within her awoke. The long-forgotten feeling of love shattered her rationality, leading to a forbidden relationship.
