This is a story about the "real thing".
Two teenagers who had been hurt by youth, one used gentleness as a shield and the other used indifference as a spear, spent several years alone in their respective high walls. They got close again in the hustle and bustle of the five-school linkage, tore apart the disguise amidst quarrels and silences, and finally held each other's hands on a snowy night.
Not love. It is a bond that is deeper and longer than love, starting from childhood. It's "You are the only person I dare to see the wound", it is "I have never thrown the stone you gave me", it is "Don't leave next time", it is "Okay".
Youth is not only about heartbeats and confessions. There are two people who are covered with bruises and finally admit - I am afraid, I need you, I never thought of being separated from you.
The lively daily life of the five schools' linkage, the hazy thoughts of the girls, the warm sharing of the service department, and the silent protection of Hiratsuka Shizuka. Laughter and tears intertwined, disguise and sincerity collided. When all the masks are torn away, when all the misunderstandings are cleared up, what is left in the snow are the two teenagers standing side by side, and the bond between them that will never be loosened again.
This is a story in which tenderness will be seen, loneliness will be caught, and youthful regrets will eventually be made up for.
"It turns out we are not alone."

Hmm... How should I put it, I still have feelings for Hikigaya [laughs evilly]
It looks pretty good, but can it be repaired a little more? Moreover, the protagonist's temperament has changed drastically after the five schools united.
