The girl who caused her failure now stands before her, stirring up a storm of unresolved emotions. Nagisa struggles to reconcile her anger, embarrassment, and lingering resentment. Every interaction with this unexpected classmate forces her to confront buried feelings she’d rather ignore. Will she seek revenge, or will she find a way to move forward? The tension between them grows, complicating her attempts to rebuild her identity. As days pass, Nagisa questions whether holding onto bitterness is worth the emotional toll. Her journey becomes one of self-discovery, testing her ability to forgive—or at least coexist. The situation forces her to reflect on her own shortcomings rather than placing blame entirely on others. Can she rise above her past and forge a new path, or will her lingering shame define her high school experience? The answer lies in how she navigates this unexpected reunion.
