Takenaka's contract with his soccer team was suddenly cancelled, and he had broken up with his lover a while ago. The desperate Takenaka throws himself into Yamazaki's arms- a senpai that betrayed him when they were in school. When he sees no end to this lifestyle, memories of his inconsolable, bitter, frustrating days come flooding back... The long version of the oneshot "The abandoned town and you and I" is also included.

1) Ciao, My Darling - Shishimoto who makes his living as a computer wizard picks up down-on-his-luck Tomosaka and his cat Hana off the street. Shishimoto seems to really have it all together, while Tomosaka can't even hold down a job for any length of time -- but not all is well behind Shishimoto's gruff facade, and over time Tomosaka finds out what's wrong, and comes to care. But then he causes Shishimoto to lose a lot of work by pulling the computer plug at an inopportune time to save electricity (quibble: the mangaka doesn't understand computers). Shishimoto has to call in his female friend Mika to help, which pushes Tomosaka into confessing his love for Shishimoto. But Shishimoto doesn't react well to his confession.
