Let’s Run Toward Freedom Together

A bird kept in a cage meets a free bird after briefly escaping its prison.

Can someone with avoidant attachment love someone forever?

Will I have a chance to be free once I leave school?

A carefree flirt wrapped in a gentle exterior, and a brooding misanthrope who hides from the cold and loneliness.

A boy suffocated by the pressure of his family flees in panic during yet another argument, and meets another boy who “understands him like no one else.” The boy always seems to grasp his feelings perfectly, offering a unique kind of warmth whenever he needs it, something no one else could give him. His avoidant attachment often gets in the way. Little by little, the boy melts the ice around his heart. Though he hates being approached and fiercely resists others’ sincere affection, he gradually becomes dependent on this mysterious young man, until he falls deeply in love. He never imagines that the person offering him salvation is actually himself, having broken free of his chains years later and traveled back through time.

When the truth comes to light, the boy gazes at the familiar features that are exactly like his own and finally understands: this encounter is his future self, who, after healing him, has crossed mountains and seas to embrace the wounded boy he once was.

Will you take me with you as you run toward freedom?

I want to become like you, too.
