Synopsis
On an ordinary night in 2030, Shirou Fukushima never expected his life to change. After a late shift at work, he finds a mysterious woman unconscious beneath a lamppost-someone who seems oddly familiar, yet entirely unknown. Driven by concern, he brings her to safety, only to discover she has no memory of why she was there... or how she got there. As they begin to coexist under one roof, a quiet connection blossoms. But strange coincidences, buried memories, and growing questions threaten the calm. Why does destiny seem to pull them closer with every passing day? Sometimes, a single encounter is all it takes to unravel a hidden truth.

[Shizuka woke up early, stretching her arms as sunlight filtered through the window. She headed downstairs to prepare breakfast.]

Shirou: Good morning, Shizuka.

Shizuka: yawns Good morning, Shirou.

Shirou: How was your sleep?

Shizuka: It's fine. How about you?

Shirou: Mine was fine too. Shirou grabs a quick bite I'm going to work after I eat. Got any plans today?

Shizuka: Nope, it's my day off today.

Shirou: Is that so? Okay, see you later.

he grabs his coat and opens the door.

[As the door clicked shut behind him, Shizuka wandered through the house, feeling the silence. She decided to clean a bit, wiping down the tables and dusting the shelves. It was a quiet, ordinary day-until a knock at the door broke the calm.]

Shizuka: opens the door Who is it?

???:pulls a gun from her waist I've been looking for you, Tenkou Shizuka. Come with me, or else...

[A chill ran through her. The man's cold, menacing stare made her heart race. She was too terrified to argue.]

Shizuka: Okay... I'll go...

[But just as she was about to comply, a flash of movement caught her eye. Her friend Mio was watching from the window. She quickly grabbed her phone and dialed Shirou.]

Mio: Come on, pick up...

Shirou: accepts the call Hello, Mio? What's up?

Mio: urgent Shizuka... she's being kidnapped, Shirou! They're in a black limo!

Shirou: WHAT?! his heart skipped a beat.

Tell me the details! What's the license plate number?!

Mio: It's RSG 4095. Hurry, Shirou!

Shirou: I'm on my way! Call the police and give them all the details! he slams the phone down, his mind racing I knew something was off today. he grabbed his jacket and dashed out the door.

[As he sped toward the police station on his motorcycle, he couldn't stop thinking about Shizuka. He needed to act fast.]

[At the police station]

Shirou: Officer, there's been a kidnapping—five blocks from Shibuya Station!

Officer Ryou: Oh, you're the one who called us, right? Follow me.

Shirou: Thanks, Officer.

[A few minutes passed as the officers worked quickly to track down the vehicle. The tension in the room grew thick.]

Officer Shin: The van's at Ryuzoji Intersection—about 7 kilometers from here.

Shirou: Thanks! he ran out, adrenaline pumping

Officer Ryou: Wait, where are you going?

Shirou: To catch that van!

Officer Ryou: It's dangerous! Let us handle this!

Shirou: The kidnapper will notice if I wait. My friend's life is on the line! he sped off on his motorcycle, leaving the officers behind

Officer Ryou: Hey! Catch! he tossed Shirou a radio phone and a licensed pistol

Shirou: Won't you get in trouble for this?

Officer Ryou: I'll deal with it. Just save her.

Shirou: Thanks, Officer.

Officer Ryou: No problem. Now go kick some ass.

[At the abandoned warehouse]

[Shirou arrived at the location, his motorcycle screeching to a halt. His heart was pounding in his chest.]

Shirou: Don't worry, Shizuka. I'm coming for you.

[He crept into the warehouse, every step cautious. The air was thick with tension. Suddenly, a voice rang out, and a criminal lunged toward him, gun raised.]

Shirou: What the—

[He dodged the shot, quickly retaliating with a well-aimed shot of his own, taking the criminal down. The sound of gunfire echoed in the cavernous space, but Shirou didn't falter. He continued forward.]

[After several more tense moments, he found her—Shizuka, tied to a chair, struggling against the ropes. The sight of her filled him with a surge of anger. But what angered him more was the man standing over her, sneering.]

Shirou: Shizuka! he shot the man and rushed over to cut the ropes, his hand shaking with adrenaline

Shizuka: Shirou! her voice was shaky but relieved to see him

Shirou: Are you okay? he untied her quickly

Shizuka: I'm fine... just... scared.

[Suddenly, a voice from behind interrupted them.]

???: Not so fast, buddy. the man's gun was aimed directly at Shirou

Shirou: Who are you? Why did you kidnap her?

???: The boss needs her. She's immune to the drug, and all infected individuals must be terminated. She's a liability.

[Just then, a voice called out from the entrance of the warehouse.]

Officer Ryou: I'm afraid not... Bigman. he stepped forward, gun aimed and ready You're coming with us.

Bigman: You think your little team can take me down?

Officer Ryou: Yes, I do.

[The standoff turned into chaos. Gunfire rang out as Officer Ryou's team moved in. It was a brutal exchange, but the officers managed to subdue Bigman, his body collapsing to the floor.]

Officer Ryou: Tell us who your boss is.

Bigman: I'd rather die than talk.

Officer Ryou: Then I guess it's time for you to go.

[Bigman spat on the floor, his defiance lingering until the final moment.]

Officer Shin: He's dead. she checked Bigman's pulse But we still don't know who's behind all this.

Officer Ryou: We'll figure that out later. Let's go. he turned to Shirou You two can go home now. Be safe.

[As Shirou drove Shizuka home, he glanced at her, noticing the fear still in her eyes.]

Shirou: You okay?

Shizuka: No... I'm scared... What if they come back?

Shirou: Don't worry. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you.

Shizuka: Thanks, Shirou... You were so cool back there.

Shirou: Is that so? Well, I might just find myself the coolest guy then.
