Kimi ga Matsu, Kono Basho de.

It was a cold winter day. Kiyoshi once again visited the old shrine on the edge of town.

This was Kiyoshi's oasis. A sanctuary, for reasons unknown, he felt unusually at peace.

It was a solitary shrine, where no one came. He was its sole patron.

Then he met Midori, the young girl who in spite of only just meeting him, knew Kiyoshi.

While smiling cheerfully that girl invited Kiyoshi for a walk.
