Midsummer Afterglow
真夏の残照
Rikuto has fallen for his guardian Hibiki, but feels that his feelings will only ever remain one-sided. Living under the same roof, he struggles with the weight of his unspoken love, knowing that the bond they share is built on duty and care rather than romantic affection.
As Rikuto navigates the quiet tension of their daily life, he must come to terms with the possibility that his love may never be returned. The distance between them grows as he questions whether his feelings are worth the pain, or if letting go is the only way to find peace.
