“To the endless summer, and to you.”
With the college entrance exams behind us, during this long vacation before university, I (Hiroyuki Nishimura, or your chosen name) received an invitation from my childhood friend, Torao Oshima.
With a mix of anticipation and trepidation, I “once again” set off on the journey home, returning to that watery town brimming with memories, a place I hadn't seen in years. Beneath these familiar landscapes, what new stories await me this time?
