Story

"Please make me human."

A sudden and unexplained global insurgence of AI has left the former utopian city of Tsukumo in ruins.

Having lived there during his childhood, Hinata often hid at a botanical garden as his safe haven. There, he met a girl who helped him overcome his trauma, and he fell in love with her. On the day he left, he proposed to her.

Upon returning to Tsukumo over summer break, Hinata hears rumors of a ghost in the now-abandoned botanical garden who is looking after the flowers. He goes to investigate and meets a humanoid girl who hopes to one day become human.

"I may not look like much, but I actually have a fiancé. He promised to come here when those flowers bloom."

Even as Hinata stands before her, she does not realize who he is.

Thus, an unforgettable summer unfolds between a boy who has nowhere to call home and a humanoid girl who dreams of marriage…
