Aya discovered that the person she was interested in wasn't a man—and also realized she can't control herself around Mitsuki! The two haven't yet put a name to their complex and sincere feelings, but these feelings only grow stronger as they continue to connect through music. With their final year of high school approaching, plans for the future begin to take shape…
