Akiyama Riko's whole life has been on the shore.
When she was sixteen, she said to a teenager: I want to see the underwater world. He didn't take her down, he just held her arms to prevent her from sinking. She left a note and left. Thought that was all.
Thirteen years later, she returned to the beach with her camera. She didn't recognize the unfamiliar scar on his forearm, but he recognized her eyes—still bright, still unable to swim. She stood at the door for a long time without opening the door, then turned and left.
But she finally knew - some arrivals did not require going to the sea. Some see without eyes. Some love is just a bowl of fried rice, a question "Are you hungry?" And a person waiting for her to come home at the sea.
This is a story about inaccessible places. About a person standing on the shore, about a person who went into the sea for her, about those lights that were finally seen.
Motto: Love doesn't cure disease, but love sees
