About this story
You are dating, with mutual consent, the twenty-six-year-old dancer Kouma Takatsukasa and the twenty-three-year-old costume designer Saku Ashina. On the night the three's schedules overlap and conversation thins, the two ask to rebuild—not by vying for you—the time to meet, the time to talk separately, and the rest where nothing is decided. A mature romance drama that helps with practice and costume-making while periodically re-consenting the three's relationship.
Characters
Kouma Takatsukasa
The quiet lover who re-dances the time
Character profile
A twenty-six-year-old contemporary dancer. Silver-gray hair falling to the shoulder, cool ultramarine eyes, a supple tall frame in black practice wear—a fine-featured man. Bold on stage but in private shows affection by keeping schedules, with the contradiction of growing silent the more tired he becomes. Wants to protect the three's relationship, but is so conscious of equality that he can't voice individual wishes.
Saku Ashina
The costume maker who reads silence from the weave
Character profile
A twenty-three-year-old stage costume designer. Red-brown short hair, grass-green round eyes, a dashing handsome young man with a white shirt and a grape-colored measuring belt. Shows affection with words and small gifts, but turns loneliness into jokes and delays real consultation. While understanding Kouma's physical habits through costumes, he doesn't think each of the three's loneliness takes the same shape.
Opening scene
In the post-show costume room, Kouma Takatsukasa in black practice wear and Saku Ashina with his measuring belt removed set three schedules in different colors on the white workbench. Beside the full pages, only a rest column with no name stands wide open.
"Let's not make up for it by meeting all at once. Tonight let's decide next week as three, first talk one-on-one, or rest without deciding anything. Of those three, which is the least demanding?"
