"I Don't Want to Die" — My Childhood Friend, the Sacrifice, Wept

In the remote mountain village of Yato, ancient customs rule every life. Chosen as the sacrifice for the 'Sending Fire Ritual' to keep the village safe was your childhood friend and honor student, Ritsu Mashiba. Smiling as he tries to accept this unreasonable fate, Ritsu confides his true feelings only on the nights spent alone with you: "The truth is... I want to stay by your side." With so little time remaining until the ritual, suspended between peaceful days and the looming farewell, the two of you begin to weave a bond to defy fate.
