Akira, harboring secret feelings for his stepmother Mariko, had left for college far from home. After successfully graduating, he began his journey back, filled with loneliness—until suddenly, the woman he secretly adored, Mariko, appeared before him. Seeing her running toward him with a bright smile, Akira trembled with joy. Celebrating his graduation just the two of them, they shared warm, cheerful conversation on the way to the hotel, basking in each other's company. Then, as Mariko gently smiled and said, "This is your graduation gift, Akira," she gave him a tender kiss. The emotions he had long hidden deep within his heart were finally becoming reality.
