As lead actor Go Ayano put it, “The lyrics are scattered, and it feels like you’re desperately groping to pull them together,” conveying a gripping struggle where you don’t even know what you’ve lost.

It gently stays beside the heart that’s been crushed by an unreasonable reality, yet still longs to trust someone once more.
