She’s desperate to escape, but with nowhere to go, Muku loses hope—that is, until her childhood friend Yuto appears on her doorstep one snowy day and inspires her to live for herself.

Long gone are the days when Muku Shiroshika would play carefree in the snow with her childhood friends. Thrust into a thankless caregiver role, Muku wants to break free from her oppressive family and regain control of her life. When her childhood friend Yuto pays her an unexpected visit, she finds hope in his words and decides to take a chance on happiness.
