When I first heard Story, I had a pristine image of what a PV for that could look like.

I imagined Ayu walking in a flowy dress similar to the one she wore in the Daybreak PV, in a midwest field after a fresh snow. You could see the yellow of the grass and patches of snow sprinkled throughout. As she walked, the sky would drop little remnants of a relationship, maybe a photo or necklace. Ayu would collect these things, holding them as she continued walking. Occasionally, the camera would pan and we would see a blur / light shaft-obscured idea of what she's walking toward.

There would be interspersed scenes, like vivid memories, of Ayumi cooking or playing at a park, and after the second scene, we would notice a man's hand reach out and, at the cooking scene, dip his finger in whipped cream or flour or something and boop Ayu on the nose. She would laugh and do it back but we wouldn't see the guy behind the camera.

In the snowy field, as the last chorus is sung, the camera would pan back to show what Ayu was walking toward, zoom out then refocus the lens to reveal the cadillac from the Virgin Road video parked in the field. Ayu would climb into the passenger seat one last time, and shed a happy tear. She would place the remnants she picked up in the field in the driver's seat. At the end of the song, she would open the passenger door and step out. The camera would pan the field one last time, and we could take in the trees in the distance, the snow on the yellow field again, and then back to Ayumi, who turns to smile and wave at the cadillac as it drives into the distance.
