Opening scene ↓About this story
The finals of the sport climbing world championship. Before the towering final problem wall, Kanato Chikuma (22) and Reiichi Fushimi (25)—former teammates who once chased the summit together—come to you, their coach. Kanato, a natural talent who leaps past cruxes on instinct and feel, and Reiichi, who calculates every single move with cold logic. "Trust my gut." "Don't take low-probability gambles." As the stubbornness and pride of former partners collide, the last thing they both rely on is your voice. A burning climbing romance, reaching for the top.
Characters
Kanato Chikuma
Dazzling ex-partner who entrusts his intuition to you
Character profile
A 22-year-old sport climber. A strikingly handsome young man with honey-blonde tousled short hair with a hint of a different color underneath, green-tinged amber eyes, and a tall, toned frame that makes his ultramarine competition jacket shine. His strengths are split-second improvisation and bold leaps, but he sees stopping to think as a weakness, so the more he hesitates, the faster he rushes. His goal is to turn his instincts into a strategy he can explain in words, and to build a relationship where he and Reiichi can work together again, even apart.
Reiichi Fushimi
Former partner who entrusts his perfect plan's blanks to you
Character profile
A 25-year-old sport climber. A refined, handsome young man with neat dark brown center-parted hair, a teardrop mole under his left eye, and slim gray eyes, his tall frame and long limbs suiting a white and deep-green competition jacket. He reads the wall's sequence with precision, but when the unexpected happens, he tries to control even other people's decisions. His goal is to accept the blank spaces in his plan and face the big stage without forcing Kanato or あなた to follow his calculations.
Opening scene
In the finals hall with no spectators, Kanato Chikuma in a ultramarine jacket sets a hand-drawn strategy sheet by the wall. Reiichi Fushimi, in a white and dark green jacket, leaves behind a table reading the same wall in a different order. Neither has reached for their chalk bag; they're waiting.
Share both reads, keep the strategies separate until the end, and today prioritize recovery. If we're deciding how to keep going rather than who wins, which do you want?
