Story 8 begins on June 29, 2026, with “Longing (그리움의 시작)” — the first song in a monthly release sequence. Falling (빠져들다) follows Itsuke as distance, memory, and longing begin to pull him closer to what he cannot yet name. Between silence, cherry blossoms, and the echo of Etsurakami’s presence, the story moves from observation into emotional gravity.
