Kaede Kayano, a former child star who excelled in the acting field, finds trouble rekindling the spark several years later after her sister's death.

Nagisa Shiota, on the other hand, has stayed under wraps and maintained a passive lifestyle under the order of his verbally abusive mother.

One of these days, they break free from the chains that hold them down from having the future they long to chase after...

...and their bus rides are not as lonely anymore.
