Rural Respite for a Weary Heart
Forced by poor health to take a leave of absence, curmudgeonly conductor Kiri returns to his rural hometown for some much-needed rest. But on his very first night back, he comes dangerously close to freezing to death--until local grocer Osamu scoops him up out of the cold and into the warmth of his embrace. Can this younger man, a years-long fan of Kiri's work, thaw out the ice in the maestro's heart? Or will Kiri be doomed to a life of frigid loneliness forever?
