Plot
Warning: spoilers

Isamu, a sixth-grade boy, cannot forgive those who ignore traffic rules after losing his mother in a car accident. Daily, he stands at the crosswalk with her yellow flag, guiding classmates and watching the signals, though adults dismiss him and peers call him a "traffic light fool." When his father announces plans to remarry, Isamu refuses a new mother—until he learns the woman also lost loved ones in a traffic accident. Through shared grief, he begins to open up and understand empathy, realizing rules alone cannot heal a broken heart.
