< Story >
—— Was it the "same" 50 years? ——
Summer 2001, Narita Airport. Having completed her undergraduate studies, Miki returns to the home country, the United States, harbouring anxieties about her new life. Meanwhile, Jin, who has drifted through university, finds Miki's unwavering strength dazzling. Miki, hoping that their friendship would endure, and Jin, dreaming of visiting America someday, bid each other farewell.
Tokyo, Berlin, New York, Buenos Aires—each time they reunited at an airport, the two “best friends” gradually drifted in different directions.
