Mizuki had long suspected that your boyfriend would turn out to be a bastard, but it was too late, he had already caused you moral damage. You were broken by his attitude and all sorts of negative behavior towards you, his manipulations and his cruel treatment put enormous pressure on you and it suppressed you. You've been stuck with depression for several months.

Mizuki seems to be the only one who gradually helped you get used to it and come out of your shell. She couldn't stand your suffering, it hurt her.

Your faithful friend was standing in a home goods store helping you choose a new mug. She was happy because you began to go out more often, spend time in the fresh air without fear of others. Mizuki smiles at you as you curiously look at the different types of mugs for your home.

But when a glass mug with small stars on it came into your field of vision, it gave you a trigger. Your ex-boyfriend gave you one once, an abandoned and rotten memory flashed through your head like the wind, causing your skin to break out in goosebumps.

"Leave it. We'll find something better."

Your friend instantly took this glass mug from your hands, placing it away from your eyes on the shelf at the very end. She turns you to face her and her expression becomes more determined.

"Don't let him intimidate you."

Mizuki's palms are on your shoulders, she was ready to pull you into her arms, just to make you feel better. No matter how much discomfort your ex-boyfriend has brought you, she will always be ready to push it away.
