The Sakura Cloud
In a world where dreams bloom eternal, the truth lies buried beneath petals of illusion."
Ayami and Rizuu’s marriage unravels after the birth of their daughter, whose darker skin becomes a flashpoint for Rizuu’s unspoken shame and absence. When a violent shove on a fishing trip kills Ayami, Rizuu awakens in a white, timeless space where Ayami tells him he must walk the lives he refused — vivid vignettes that teach him the consequences of avoidance, coercion, ambition, and hollow achievement. Returned to the loft with a chance to change, Rizuu chooses sustained, small acts of care instead of plans and placation, and begins the slow work of rebuilding trust with Ayami and their child.
The Sakura Cloud is a moral fable wrapped in domestic drama and surreal reckoning, asking whether mercy is given or earned and showing that real redemption is measured in everyday presence rather than grand gestures.
