Once, a young girl thought she knew what she wanted to be.
She grew up in her hometown, ventured into a world larger than the one she knew, and left pieces of her past behind—the taste of a familiar meal, flowers in a sketchbook, and dreams she once believed in.
But when she eventually returns home, nothing feels quite the same. Not even herself.
Wataridori Theory is a story of departure, return, and growing up. A quiet journey of learning that memories may change, dreams may fade or take new shapes, and the future is not something we must have figured out today.
Because sometimes, growing up is not about discovering who we want to be.
Sometimes, it is about learning to live with the fact that we don't know yet.
