Banri and Kouko move through a quiet neighborhood street, the ordinary setting contrasting with the emotional strain between them.
This moment appears late in the story, when Banri and Kouko’s relationship is nearing an emotional breaking point under the weight of memory, uncertainty, and fear about the future. Although they are still walking side by side, the mood is no longer light, and the ordinary neighborhood setting quietly reflects their inner struggle with attachment, loss, and identity. After this, their conversations and emotional conflict deepen, pushing their relationship toward a major turning point. The anime background is based on the area around Juan-an in Suginami, Tokyo, and the road layout, neighborhood scale, and corner composition match the real location quite well. Some signage, storefront details, and building facades were simplified for animation, but the street width and low-rise residential atmosphere remain highly recognizable. Compared with real life, the anime presents a cleaner view with fewer wires and roadside objects, yet a Street View comparison still makes the source easy to identify. As this is a normal mixed residential and local business area, visitors should keep a low profile and avoid disturbing nearby residents.
