Her mother's arrival comes with a single demand: Elf needs to find a husband and settle down. Caught between filial duty and her own heart, Elf must confront feelings she's kept hidden for someone close to her and decide what future she actually wants. Meanwhile, winter brings more than just cold weather. Masamune Izumi falls ill, and his sister Sagiri makes an unusual decision. The girl who rarely leaves her room steps outside to care for him, taking on household duties she's never handled before. Through cooking meals and managing a home, Sagiri discovers something about devotion and family bonds that her isolated life never taught her.
