Seventeen-year-old Suzuki Xun is studying abroad in Tokyo alone. He is taciturn and has no friends. He is used to being alone. There was a lush pear tree outside her window, and the rustling of its branches and leaves in the summer night was her only background sound. That evening, she opened the window and saw a strange girl sitting on the branches of the pear tree. White skirt, black braids, and a smile too bright to belong to this dusk. The girl's name was Inoue Rika, and like an unreasonable wind, she came in through the window and stayed there with a stubborn streak. She is cheerful and talkative, the complete opposite of Suzuki Xun. She would make a beautiful lunch, drag her to see the Sumida River, and hold her arm under the fireworks of the Summer Festival. Suzuki Xun has been lonely for too long, and for the first time, he feels that his days can be filled by one person like this. Then, on an ordinary dusk, the setting sun on the bridge burned half of the sky red. Inoue Rika turned her head, tears sliding down the corners of her still smiling mouth, and said to her-- "..." The next day, Suzuki Xun woke up as usual and went to school as usual, but could no longer remember the name. Until that day, the transfer student walked into the classroom, with a familiar smile, and wrote his name on the blackboard. "My name is Inoue Rika."
