You are an ordinary student. Nothing really distinguishes yourself from the other people of your age. You live a quiet and uneventful life. Everything seems to be in order.
One day, it appears that life is giving you a gift. You feel excited.
So excited that your heart stops beating.
As you recover you learn the truth. You are not like the other boys of your age. Your heart is weak. You may die at any moment, if you are not careful.
You feel that everything worth in your life is gone. What is the purpose of going on if everything can be snatched away so easily ?
You drift. You shut yourself from the world. You lose contact with your friends, your parents, the girl you liked... There is no point in going on, as you would just as well be dead. It will eventually happen, anyway.
You are slowly walking towards the edge of a bottomless chasm.
The doctors tell you you cannot stay in your former school. That you have to go to a school specifically designed for people of your age who need special attention.
A school for the disabled.
You feel even lower. You cannot even continue studying in the same environment as others. You have to be kept apart. And this only adds to this feeling you have. You are no longer a real person. You are incomplete.
You go to that school, resigned, not giving a thought about what your future could look like, as deep inside, you feel you don't have a future.
You are standing on the edge of the chasm.
As you enter, it is as if you had already jumped.
But at that moment, you just cannot realize what is truly happening.
This is not the end.
Only a new beginning.
For you will meet six girls in this school. Six wonderful girls who will reach you, who will care for you... Who will show you that happiness is just waiting for you to grab it.
Shizune, the workaholic deaf mute, always accompanied by her flamboyant interpreter and friend Misha, who will teach you that you are still in control of your destiny, and that you can still do good for those around you.
Hanako, the traumatized third degree burnt, whom you will want to protect, but who can make you learn more about yourself than what you can imagine.
Emi, the legless track star, so full of life, who will make you stand up and laugh in the face of death.
Lilly the blind lady, who, by her constant attention, will make you realize that there are people who are genuinely worried about you, and who would be devastated if you keep denying their concerns.
Rin, the armless artist, who will make you see the beauty of the world around you and will try to make you describe it in your own words.
All those girls have the potential to free your mind from the darkness envelopping it. With their help... With their love... You will not jump over the edge and fall into the depths. You will open your wings, and fly away to your happiness.
But as you look again, you realize something.
They were able to reach you because they, too, were standing on the edge.
They have doubts, fears, inner struggles that have been building up over the years before you came. And as they helped you... All of this is going to resurface.
You cannot leave them alone. For you truly, deeply care about them. You must help them, as much as they helped you.
But you are only human. You can make dramatic mistakes. One poor choice of words, one badly thought action... And those girls may fall into the abyss, taking you with them, as your destinies are now chained together.
You may fail.
But you also have the potential to succeed. By listening to your heart, to their needs, to those around you... You may help them overcome their worries.
And together, you will take flight to a brighter future.
This is all up to you. Be careful.
Just remember.
Being incomplete does not mean you cannot sprout wings.
