The days following his hiring are marked by unending rain.
One day, in an unspecified part of this metropolis, Kotaro encounters Hina Amano, a young woman who lives with her brother due to various specified. Unbeknownst to Hodaka, Hina has a mysterious power: she can make the rain stop, and bring light back to the city.
