Natsuru asks Suzumura to take care of the kitten, and Suzumura agrees in exchange for an exact fee. Natsuru and Suzumura have never interacted much before, but Natsuru goes as far as to skip summer soccer camp in order to stay at her rundown house, both to help take care of the kitten and to avoid the new coach. The two gradually develop a strong bond over their lack of parental figures (Natsuru's mother is a widow, while Rio and her brother are waiting [[MinorLivingAlone by themselves]] for their single dad to get back from a fishing trip), but their happiness together gets upended when the Suzumuras turn out to be hiding a disturbing secret....

11-year old Natsuru Nanao is a sporty elementary school aged boy. Though he is enthusiastic about playing soccer, he is less enthusiastic about having to interact with his soccer camp's new coach, a man who makes insensitive comments about his skills and his mother's single status. One day he finds an abandoned kitten in a box and decides to take it home. He can't keep it due to his mother's allergies, but luckily he bumps into a classmate while outside: the tall and secretive Rio Suzumura, who is walking to the grocery store with her little brother Yuta.

* CoolOldGuy: Coach Okada, the older coach of Natsuru's soccer team who had to drop out while getting treated for cancer. Both the kids' description about him as well as Natsuru's conversation with him at the hospital indicate that he is a kind man who always likes to encourage his team. The boys are not happy that he has to be replaced with Maruo Sakai, a younger but less kind coach.

Added DiffLines:
* LastNameBasis: As expected with someone he barely knows at first, Natsuru refers to Rio as Suzumura. It leads to some confusion when he moves in with them, as at one point he says "Suzumura" when calling to her but Yuta thinks ''he'' is the one being talked to due to him having the same last name.
Added DiffLines:
* CheerfulChild: Yuta, Rio's younger brother, has a very cheery demeanor. It's deconstructed, however, as the only reason he's able to be so cheerful is because Rio does so much to keep him shielded from the unpleasant things happening to them.
* ComingOfAgeStory: It's about two kids maturing right before they begin middle school.
