Kyoko, who couldn't believe anything in the world and lived a desolate life, meets Katsuya Honda, who has been assigned as an educational trainee. She is at the mercy of Katsuya, who is rude and has a strong habit, and she is gradually attracted to her. However, she is disowned by her parents in the wake of an incident with her bad fellow. It's a punishment that I've been doing as much as I like. Katsuya appears in front of Kyoko who thinks so...

This melancholic origin story strips away the whimsical supernatural elements to focus on a raw, heartbreaking portrait of human isolation. A chance encounter with a blunt mentor provides the only warmth in a life defined by familial rejection and sudden, lonely upheaval.
