From there, Shintaro reflects on his memories with both of them. He recalls the times they spent together, running freely through the southern areas of Nagasaki City, filled with love. However, neither Nami nor Manatsu is swayed by these sentimental thoughts, and they make a decisive resolution. What will become of Shintaro’s fate? This is a new-type tourism movie set in the southern district of Nagasaki City, where reality and virtual worlds intertwine.
