Sensei's Pious Lie

Misuzu Hara maintains a careful distance from her students as a high school teacher, a barrier erected from unhealed wounds. Years ago, she was raped by her best friend's boyfriend after he discovered her affection for him. She never reported the crime, burying the trauma while maintaining a strained connection with the man, now her friend's fiancé. When rumors surface that her student, Yuki Niizuma, is involved in a secret affair, Misuzu calls him in for counseling. Their conversation becomes a catalyst, forcing a collision between his whispered truth and her own long-silenced suffering.
