INTRO
Arriving in a scenic town filled with flowers, Sho and Ren encounters Haru and the others working at a café.
Taking up residence on the second floor, Sho begins working alongside them.
But one day, he spots Haru sneaking out alone in the dead of night and decides to follow her.
Far from town, beneath a pale moonlit tree on a hill surrounded by flowers as far as the eye can see, Sho witnesses the moment a small girl in Haru's arms turns into a flower.
Noticing Sho, Haru smiles sadly at the magnificently blooming flowers.

"This is how I've managed to survive in this world. But I want to keep on living. Even if that means exchanging another's life."

Looking up at the falling petals with Haru, Sho declares:

"No matter what this world forces upon you… No matter how much others will condemn you…"

"I'll wish for this world to end."

CHARACTERS
Haru
Voice: Sawasawa Sawa
The second of three sisters who work at Famille, the café on the outskirts of town.
She also acts as the café's manager, in charge of cakes and sweets.
A gentle and easy-going girl whose smile never fades, even in times of trouble.
But in truth, she's the most strong-willed and stubborn of her sisters.
Due to her inability to go to bed at a reasonable hour, hardly a single day goes by without her being late.
Mostly because of how much time she spends writing in her diary.

"My promise is one that can never come true now."

Kotose
Voice: Iroha Natsumine
The eldest of the three sisters who work at Famille.
Mainly in charge of the dining floor, as well as Tea and drinks.
Somewhat of a meddling caretaker, as big sisters tend to be.
An elegant and graceful beauty who always takes jokes at face value, making her fun to tease.
Being an avid reader, she is a regular at the local bookstore.
She also grows her own Tea leaves at home the old-fashioned way.

"I don't do this because I like it."

Yukina
Voice: Wakaba Tani
The youngest of the three sisters.
Her job is mainly serving customers and making little crafts.
A cheerful, fearless girl who doesn't shy away from speaking her mind.
Although a fun-loving free spirit, she is also the one able to observe things most clearly among her sisters.
Skilled with handiwork, her specialty is crafting bookmarks.
Has a habit of grinning widely, showing her teeth when she smiles.

"That's just how things work. There's nothing we can do."

Ren
Voice: Hana Akino
The young girl who arrives in town with Sho.
Although she takes up residence at Famille, she mainly works as more of the café's mascot, rather than a waitress.
The word "innocent" describes her perfectly, and her emotions are always plain to see on her face.
Her adorableness soothes all who watch her.
Has a habit of apologizing, made all the more guilt-inducing due to her appearance.
She is very fond of Sho, much like a little sister.

"Nice to meet you, I think. But we don't need introductions, do we?"
