Synopsis
It's March, with only one month left in the third semester. Sakuta Azusagawa attended his girlfriend Mai Sakurajima's graduation ceremony. While waiting for Mai on the shore of Shichirigahama, an elementary school student, who strongly resembles Mai from his childhood, appears before him. "Uncle, who is she?" The question arises: is this a dream or a vision? As Sakuta reminisces about this mysterious experience, his father calls. "It's about my mother. She expressed a wish to meet Kaede." This longing to "see her" comes from Kaede's mother, who remained hospitalized for a long time due to the difficulty in fully accepting what happened. Fulfilling his mother's wish, Sakuta decides to meet her with Kaede, but he can't hide his nervousness at the opportunity to see her again after so long. However, an unknown scar appears on Sakuta's body. Is this a harbinger of a new adolescent syndrome?
