What expression would a lonely, newly awakened boy wear after being diagnosed with cancer?
Sadness? Acceptance?
For Lu Yuan, whose illness was already terminal, the choice was to give up treatment. From then on, he decided to see how big the world was.
One day, he came to a bustling little seaside town and, as usual, went to the After Time cafe. There, he met a strange girl who unbelievably claimed that he was the only one who could see her:
“Y-you can s-see me?”
“Is it s-so strange that I can see you?”
“Um, come home with me. I really didn’t expect you to be able to see me, so we have to do our duty.”
“Huh? Go where?”
“Home. Our home.”
The girl took the boy by the hand and led him into a world between life and death.
