Shin has shut his heart ever since his mother died when he was young. His childhood friend Kotori has been looking after him ever since. Now that they are in the third year of high school, and it seems like they can finally move forward, another Shin from another Japan has suddenly appeared in front of them.

VIBE

A poignant exploration of loss and connection across dimensions. It feels like a bittersweet dream, blending introspective melancholy with the gentle hope of finding oneself, even when facing alternate realities.
