A single episode that trusts music and silence more than dialogue to say what matters. Two people finding each other across time, and every moment of recognition costs something because you know it can't last. Araki and Sawano built this to break your heart in twelve minutes, then leave you alone with what you're feeling.
A girl becomes captivated by a pink-haired young woman. After running into her several times, she discovers that the woman is one of her distant classmates, who presents as a boy at school. With her world suddenly full of color and her heart racing, she trails after this person, hoping to understand them better. Yet every attempt to draw closer only seems to widen the gap between them. The single-episode music and romance ONA was directed by Tetsurou Araki, with music by Hiroyuki Sawano and Motohiro Hata. It is one of five short films made for the TOHO animation Music Films project, marking TOHO Animation's 10th anniversary.
