The Sanyo Shimbun

Hisashi and Mai are a happy couple in their 20s who are engaged to be married. But three months before their wedding, Mai becomes seriously ill. Her heart stops momentarily, and she falls into a deep coma. Hisashi visits Mai at the hospital every day before work. With no idea if or when she will ever awake, Mai’s parents encourage Hisashi to find someone else, but he refuses to give up and continues to pray for her recovery. As if his prayers are answered, Mai begins to regain consciousness several years later, and even utters a few words. But tragically, she has suffered brain damage and has no memory of Hisashi.

Yasuo (Hiroshi Abe) grew up as an orphan. He married a woman he loved and they had a son Akira (later played by Takumi Kitamura). Yasuo's life seemed great at the time, but his life totally changed after his wife died in accident. Since that time, Yasuo, who never experienced parents' love himself, has to raise his son Akira alone.

College student Sakura (Rikka Ihara) has trouble fitting in with her class. Her childhood friend Satoshi (Taiyu Fujiwara) thinks that a change of scenery is just what she needs to feel better, and along with another childhood friend, Nozomi (Shiori Akita), he invites her to come work a part-time job at a resort inn on an island. The inn is normally run by a husband-and-wife couple, along with a part-timer named Iwasaki.
