Synopsis: Houkago no Salome

Naomi, my classmate, quietly inquires if I am available to help her with painting after school. We covertly slip into the art storage room, a seldom-used space, and work together in low tones to create beautiful art. Renji, our diligent classmate, experiences envy and frustration towards Naomi, who has recently joined a prestigious art school in Osaka. As a means of maintaining his reputation, Renji boasts, "I could do something like that as well." However, as Naomi's incredible talent is revealed, Renji becomes increasingly amazed by it, struggling with his conflicting feelings of insecurity and admiration, and pondering whether Naomi is his rival or something deeper.
