Hotori: Tada Saiwai wo Koinegau

Suzu is being prepared to replace a boy who has died, receiving the child's memories little by little at his parents' request. At the same facility, he meets Hotori, whose illness is gradually taking away the memories of her own life.

The two grow close while changing in opposite directions: Suzu gains a past he never lived, and Hotori loses the one she knew. Their friendship gives them a place to question what remains of a person when memory changes, and whether the bond they are forming can belong to them regardless of who others expect them to become.
