Description

Hinano is a diligent honor student with a pure-hearted reputation, eagerly anticipating her first trip with her kind boyfriend, Ao. What should be a happy milestone, however, is overshadowed by a secret she cannot bring herself to share with him. Tonight, after the shutters come down at her part-time workplace, Hinano once again faces the advances of her manager, Kamei. There is a single reason she feels unable to refuse him—and it is precisely the thing she cannot tell Ao. Behind the familiar routine of work and her hopes for the upcoming trip, that hidden burden is beginning to distort her everyday life. “Have fun on your trip.” Kamei smiles as he reaches for her, turning an ordinary farewell into an unsettling reminder of her predicament. With her first getaway with Ao drawing closer, Hinano finds the happiness she has been looking forward to increasingly entangled with the secret she keeps after closing time.
