In the depths of a lifeless town, a teenage boy finds himself entangled in a web of self-serving adults and shattered dreams, teetering on the edge of the abyss. Reijis existence is a mere reflection of the dreary surroundings he inhabits, marked by a lackluster monotony that refuses to relent. The most captivating event to grace this desolate place is a double suicide that took place by the riverbank, a mere spectacle of despair. Does Reiji possess any agency over his fate, or will he succumb to the same darkness that engulfs his surroundings?

The author, Esemori, unveils a harrowing secret from his past, casting a shadow over Reijis present. As he draws closer to Nagi, his best friend Chako yearns for a deeper connection with him, yet it is Reiji who finds himself embarking on a pursuit of seduction. Meanwhile, Reijis teacher, Shiba, attempts to manipulate him into continuing their illicit relationship, a twisted game of power and manipulation.

The townspeople, shrouded in their own secrets and lies, watch with indifference as Reiji struggles to navigate the treacherous waters of adolescence. The weight of expectations and the fear of failure loom large, casting a dark cloud over his every decision. With every step he takes, Reiji feels as if he is walking on a tightrope, unsure of when he will slip and fall into the abyss that awaits him.

In this poignant tale of resilience and hopelessness, Esemori explores the complexities of human relationships and the devastating consequences of unfulfilled dreams. Reijis journey is a testament to the human spirit's enduring strength, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. As he confronts his demons and seeks a way out of the town's gravitational pull, Reiji discovers the power of self-discovery and the possibility of a brighter future.
