Thank you for watching.
This work, "Afterglow," depicts the emotions of young people who have reached one major milestone: graduation.
The spring season, when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, is a symbol of farewells and new beginnings for many people.
Through such ephemeral and beautiful moments, this film expresses the subtleties of emotions that exist between endings and beginnings.
The title "Afterglow" refers to the faint light that remains in the sky after the sun has set.
This faint yet beautiful light symbolizes the beauty of days gone by and the hope for a future yet to be seen.
At some point in our lives, we all experience "graduation" and step out into the unknown.
We hope that this film will be a ray of light that gently illuminates the sadness and anxiety we feel at such times, as well as the anticipation of a new chapter.
We hope that everyone who sees this film will be able to look at their own "afterglow" and prepare their hearts for their new journey.
Through this work, we hope that you will experience a moment when you look back on your past and feel the courage to take a step forward into the future.

Afterglow
The light of the setting sun that remains on mountaintops and other places even after it gets dark.
The cherry blossom season is here again this year.
Cherry blossom petals twinkle quietly in the spring light that fills the classroom.
On the day of graduation, as if left alone
I watch the petals of the cherry blossoms dance silently
It's as if time has stopped
Chalk powder snow, the faint touch of chalk on my fingers
the warm huddle by the window
I wonder if I will still remember the scent of this classroom ten years from now
Each one of them turns into a sweet and sad color in my heart.
Each casual place is an irreplaceable youth itself
My heart tightens at the realization that the days of the past will pass away
My heart is heavy with anxiety about the future, and I sink into lethargy.
The world outside the window is too bright to see
Flipping through the album, countless memories run through my mind
Smiles, tears, the time we spent together
fill my heart with vivid colors
Graduation is not the end of them, but the door to a new beginning
The light that illuminates the future still remains here
Cherry blossom petals quietly twinkle
Afterglow that is fleeting but certainly present
It is the light that illuminates the future of days gone by, a sign to start walking on a new path
The season of cherry blossoms has come again this year
It is the season to start walking on a new path
Afterglow of youth
