The song starts with Len singing of a tale from the forest and the wind, it crosses time. He wondered when 'the door' will be opened. He then heard a voice calling "You are not alone. Someday at the place you look back on, I hope I can be there with you." In Rin's part, she sang of someday somewhere, was an unforgettable memory. It showed a garden of flowers with Rin (with long hair) and a blonde boy, playing. She wondered whose face was in that memory. At the end of the video it showed Rin's hand which has a 6-petal birthmark.

Rin said goodbye to all the people she loved; and wandered around at night. It was then when she heard a voice once nostalgic saying "Behind this forest, sea could be seen and there is a city. You grant it." It's unknown who she sang the song to (though it's hinted to be Len/Leol) "whoever" that was sang a song all alone.

As day passes by, "that person" slowly forget treasures he and Riahna had shared together. Riahna wanted to be beside Leol forever though knowing it's impossible; saying she should protect the village somehow.

In the end, even though Riahna was hesitant on leaving the village, she decided to go anyway; she wanted to let go of "that hand". She sang a song only she knew, a gentle song, and said "I love you" (To Len/Leol).
