Yoko (Fumi Nikaido), who aspires to become a writer, and Satokun (Yuto Isomura), a young man who loves to draw, are among her colleagues who work at the facility. Another encounter is with Ki-chan, a resident with the same date of birth as Yoko. Ki-chan" lies motionless on her bed in a room where no light can reach, and Yoko becomes close to her, not feeling as if she is a stranger to her. However, this workplace is no paradise. Yoko witnesses the heartless treatment and violence towards the residents by other staff members. Satokun is more outraged than anyone else at such unreasonableness in the world. The sense of justice and sense of mission that amplifies within him gradually comes to a head, eventually accompanied by anger - and the day finally arrives. And the day finally comes.
