Ryoka, a 19-year-old art student in Kochi, struggles with feelings of inferiority to her twin sister, Kaya. She moves away to live alone and begins a relationship with Gaku. She calls Kaya to tell her about Gaku, but Kaya dies in a car accident. Guilt-ridden Ryoka cannot bring herself to attend the funeral. Ryoka finds a love letter from Eito in Kaya’s belongings and decide to tell him the truth. Ryoka eventually starts dating Eito, with Gaku's understanding.
