During my student years, my mother had pursued a career in art, but after meeting my father and giving birth to me, she was forced to abandon her dreams halfway through. Perhaps because of lingering regrets, she recently began teaching art to my classmate, Hirakawa. She instructs him with such dedication, as if projecting her unfulfilled ambitions onto him. Their growing closeness strangely stirs feelings of jealousy within me. One day, I head to the studio, making my way to where my mother waits for Hirakawa.
