While the sales staff quit after six months due to the harsh work and mental strain, I, as a clerical worker, was doing my job without any problems and was in my second year.

However, a phone call triggers a sudden collapse of my daily routine. Having reached my limit, I decide to resign from my job... A much-talked-about work by an Akutagawa Prize-winning author.
