It is the rainy season in Tokyo. On a lazy afternoon off, Sumika Shiomi finds her thoughts drifting back to memories of a local hydrangea festival: the wet stone steps, the blue-purple blossoms, and the profile of the childhood friend who stood beside her. A wish left unspoken before the gods that day now reaches her from beyond the sound of the rain… This is a short story from Setouchi Whisper, penned from the seaside of the Seto Inland Sea.
This continues from the main story of “We’re childhood friends, not a married couple—or at least, we’re not supposed to be.”
