笑えない理由
Kanako is isolated by her peers, who gossip about her and label her as unenthusiastic. Once a happy and sociable child in elementary school, she changed after a classmate and the younger sibling of her tutor, Eiji, mocked her for looking "fugly" when smiling. Although Eiji left shortly after, the comment affected her deeply, and she has not smiled in two years. His return to town raises questions about how this will impact her.
