Haru wo Yobu Yume

A young boy steps outside his home on a cold winter day and begins to notice small, subtle signs of spring: a gentle breeze that feels warmer than usual, a patch of snow melting on the ground, the first tiny buds appearing on a bare tree. As he walks further through the quiet landscape, the world around him slowly transforms—the air grows milder, the sky brightens, and patches of green emerge from the white blanket. He continues his stroll, observing each detail with wonder, as if the season itself is awakening before his eyes.

But the warmth and color are not real. When he finally opens his eyes, he finds himself back in the same cold winter landscape, surrounded by deep snow and biting wind. It was all a dream—a vivid, fleeting vision of the spring that has not yet arrived. The boy is left alone with the memory of that imagined warmth, while winter continues to hold its grip on the world.
