Synopsis
Kyoto's Higashiyama, where plum blossoms scatter.
At a detective agency near Jingu-michi, Nara is busy as ever looking after the lazy detective Ichiya.
On the day of the 'Nagashibina' festival at Shimogamo Shrine, a request for investigation comes from a former popular actor regarding a 'mysterious letter' received from his late mother.
Unraveling the client's vague memories, chasing the illusion of cherry blossoms at night, Nara faces feelings of love and family bonds.
Drawn to her earnest devotion, Ichiya's heart also begins to waver.
What truth will the two, searching for lost things, find in the spring light?
