01:11in an accident a few years prior. One day, while trying to visit an old security guard who used
01:16to be kind to her, she mistakenly enters a parking garage where Rue Shinozaki, a former kickboxer
01:23with a troubled past, now works. Akari, unaware of her mistake, starts a casual conversation with
01:30Rue, mistaking him for someone else. Her bright and optimistic personality surprises Rue, who is
01:38initially cold and dismissive. However, her warmth and persistence leave an impression on him,
01:45sparking an unexpected connection between them. Despite Rue's reserved demeanor, Akari continues visiting
01:52the parking garage, chatting with him, watching TV together, and sharing meals, bringing warmth into
01:59his otherwise lonely life. Rue, slowly drawn to her sincerity, begins to open up. He becomes more

04:32tragedy. Overcome with guilt, he distances himself from Akari, believing she would hate him if she
04:38ever found out, and he does not want to bring any more pain into her life. Determined to make amends,
04:45Rue decides to return to kickboxing and train for a major match. His goal is to win the prize money to

04:58and Rue sustains severe injuries, but he emerges victorious. He ensures the money reaches Akari
05:05before disappearing, feeling unworthy of her love. Akari undergoes the surgery and slowly regains
05:12partial sight, but Rue has vanished. Desperate to find him, she retraces their memories, visiting the
05:20parking garage and the places they once shared. As time passes, she refuses to give up hope,
05:27believing that Rue is still out there. One day, while standing by a familiar road, Akari notices
05:34a solitary figure in the distance. As he walks closer, she recognizes his stance and gait.
