How it feels

A high school boy runs away from home and travels to Amagi Pass. He meets a geisha named Hana and a vagrant who is later found murdered. Hana becomes the main suspect, but the boy refuses to implicate her. Forty years later, the now grown-up boy, who owns a print shop, is visited by a retired police officer from Amagi Pass, and the truth begins to emerge.
