Hazuki only survived because her parents protected her. Hazuki was bounced around between relatives until she came to Tsuzuji's House, an orphanage. Ever since her parents died, Hazuki hid her true feelings with a smile. Hazuki then met the Directory of Tsuzuji, an aging woman. The Director quickly saw through Hazuki's mask and told her she didn't have to make a smile like that. which made Hazuki cry. Tsuzuji would become Hazuki's favorite place, where Hazuki and her friends all understood each other. She narrates that Konoha was like their big sister.

Konoha 1

Konoha's father was a successful businessman. After Konoha was born, his fortunes turned and he died from an anxiety-induced illness. Konoha's mother died as well, and she was brought to Tsuzuji's House. With the help of the Director, Konoha was able to recover from her parents' deaths. Hazuki would arrive later, also saved by the director. Konoha and Hazuki would become friends. Sometime later the Director introduced the girls to Ayame, who was found abandoned in a back alley. Ayame says all she can remember of her parents was a big hand pulling her own. Konoha and Hazuki were placed in charge of looking after Ayame. For awhile, Konoha's world was Tsuzuji's House and what was essentially her surrogate family, until one day...

Hazuki 2

Konoha overhears the Director arguing with the Tsuzuji's Vice-Director. They are arguing about the demolishing of Tsuzuji's House. Konoha tells Hazuki, who is horrified. Konoha explains the Director was against it and it was the first time she ever heard the Director raise her voice like that. However, the Vice-Director was the one who brought up the demolishing in the first place. Hazuki says the Vice-Director was there even before Konoha came, and wonders why the Vice-Director would want to demolish the place. Konoha thinks that someone is always trying to ruin their lives, pointing out that everyone who comes to Tsuzuji have had their lives gone wrong like this. The girls decide not to tell Ayame and to speak to the Director about this.

Konoha 2

The girls talk to the Director who explains that a brand new orphanage program has been instituted by the government. Orphans from across the country would be sent to newly built institutions with a new educational curriculum. Tsuzuji was chosen to be the first institution to be integrated into this program - which means the orphanage would be demolished and the children separated. The girls ask what they can do, and the Director says they can listen to her complaints when she's tired. She promises to do something about it, and tells the girls to do what they always do. Afterward Konoha and Hazuki look on the internet and find the new program is surrounded by rumors of political and corporate interference. They later learn the Vice-Director colluded with the government and was behind the demolition in the first place. They learned this after the Director collapsed.

Ayame 2

The girls mourn the Director's death, and Hazuki and Konoha tells Ayame about Tsuzuji being demolished. None of the girls know what will happen. Although they try to protect Tsuzuji, in the end it was decided the demolition would go through. But then it didn't...
