Winter is here. Tomozaki finds himself at odds with Kikuchi-and once again, words close the distance between them. Tomozaki confronts his own deeds, and that sheds light on one aspect of Kikuchi that previously went unnoticed. There are some things a bottom-tier character just won't notice, things he can't pick up on. And then there's Aoi Hinami, a person so special to both Tomozaki and Kikuchi... Can Tomozaki clear this difficult trial with his first-ever girlfriend?
