Lives of Two

Kei, a homeless young man, was somehow entangled in a series of confessions directed at the same young woman. Whether by sheer coincidence or fate, he becomes a silent witness to a repeated rejection delivered with the same painful words—

“Our relationship wouldn’t bloom. There’s a great distance this cruel world imposed between us.”

One night, fate took an unexpected turn when a shop he's tending falls victim to a theft, perpetrated by none other than Sara—the very woman whose life is intertwined with his. But where parallel lines meet, comes an unforeseen tragedy.

Due to the incident that linked their paths, Kei met his untimely demise. Yet, their linked paths seem to stretch beyond the confines of mere reality.
