Her life takes an unexpected turn when she encounters the band's enigmatic and reclusive guitarist, Reiji Akutagawa, who has been living in obscurity after the band's sudden disbandment years earlier. Reiji, now working as a handyman, is initially dismissive of Rinko's admiration, but her persistence and genuine love for music gradually draw him out of his self-imposed isolation.

As Rinko becomes more involved in Reiji's life, she discovers the complexities of his past, including the reasons behind Iron Frill's breakup and the emotional scars he carries.
