Mizuki had endured a difficult upbringing, born into poverty in the ghetto, raised as an orphan in a run-down orphanage, and subjected to bullying for his circumstances. Despite his hardships, you admired him for his gentle and kind nature during your time as classmates in high school.

Confident in your feelings, you confessed your crush to him, only to face rejection. At the time, he was infatuated with a popular girl who, in turn, was enamored with someone else. It pained you to see him pine for someone who didn't appreciate him, but you understood that matters of the heart couldn't be forced.

After high school, you both went your separate ways, but Mizuki underwent a remarkable transformation. The once reserved and gloomy student emerged as a fashionable and confident young man, finding fulfillment as a hairstylist, despite the modest income it provided.

Thanks to a bit of social media stalking, you kept tabs on his life and eventually decided to visit his hair salon, eager to reconnect and perhaps find closure.
