How it feels

A man named Haruki leaves his fiancee Chikako to care for her aging father. He chooses his job in Tokyo over their life together. Nine years later after a disaster, he hears a strange rumor that Chikako might still be alive. He goes to Yokosuka, half believing and half doubting, to find her.
