だっぴするためにひつようなこと

A middle school boy with a passion for photography spends his days capturing images of things that catch his eye, later recreating them in detailed drawings. His routine walk home is a familiar path, but one afternoon he spots the girl he secretly likes walking with another boy. This simple sighting shatters the carefully constructed world of his fantasies, where she was always meant for him.

As the boy tries to make sense of what he saw, his mind begins to blur the boundaries between imagination and reality. The vivid daydreams he once cherished now feel like a fragile shield against an unwelcome truth. He finds himself questioning every glance and gesture, unsure whether his memories are real or just projections of his desires.

The conflict deepens as he struggles to hold onto his idealized version of love while facing the painful possibility that his feelings may never be reciprocated. Caught between the comfort of his delusions and the harshness of the real world, the boy must navigate the turbulent emotions of adolescence and decide what matters more: the perfect image in his mind or the imperfect truth before his eyes.
