At work, Ichiro Bunbara and Keiichi Higashi are boss and subordinate. Due to past trauma, Ichiro avoids deep involvement with others, believing that "a future where I live with someone will never come," and continues to protect his own peaceful daily life. Keiichi, on the other hand, acknowledges that he does not feel romantic feelings for people and lives a life detached from romance.

Higasaki struggles to answer Fumihara’s question about whether his feelings are truly romantic. But when Fumihara is unexpectedly sent away on a work trip, his absence leaves Higasaki feeling lost making him realise just how deeply he misses and loves him.
