fell off from the bridge and dies. Maverick young brother Takeru is the
only witness. While Takeru tries to prove that his brother did not kill
the girl, their hidden emotions get revealed little by little, and the
true personality of Minoru, as well as what really happened on the bridge,
becomes even more vague.
