    In the heart of Tokyo, amidst the flurry of cherry blossoms, there lived a girl named Yumi. She was a high school student whose life was about to take an unexpected turn.

    Yumi lived a quiet life, spending her days studying and helping her parents at their small restaurant. She cherished the quiet moments, sitting under the cherry blossom tree in her backyard.

    One day, while studying under the cherry blossom tree, Yumi found a mysterious diary. It was an old, worn-out book, hidden between the roots of the tree. Intrigued, she decided to open it.
