Sasaki is a tired and overworked salaryman who spends most of his days buried under a mountain of responsibilities at his demanding job.
His only source of comfort and a small escape from the stress of daily life comes from visiting his neighborhood supermarket. There, he enjoys brief but meaningful interactions with Yamada, a friendly and cheerful cashier.
Yamada’s bright smile and upbeat attitude have a magical way of lifting Sasaki’s spirits, making his days a little easier to bear. The few moments he spends at her checkout line are often the highlight of his long, exhausting days.
One evening, after a particularly grueling day at the office, Sasaki works late into the night. By the time he finally finishes, he is exhausted and decides to stop by the supermarket for some relief, hoping to see Yamada’s familiar and comforting face.
However, to his disappointment, he finds that Yamada has already finished her shift and left for the day. Feeling drained and a bit disheartened, Sasaki decides to take a break and heads outside for a smoke to clear his mind.
As he stands in the dimly lit smoking area behind the store, Sasaki is surprised to see a woman he has never encountered before.
She introduces herself as Tayama, a mysterious and intriguing figure who seems to have appeared out of nowhere. There is something unusual and enticing about her presence, and Sasaki can’t quite put his finger on it.
Tayama strikes up a conversation with him, and as they talk, Sasaki feels a strange sense of curiosity and unease. Her calm yet mysterious demeanor makes him wonder who she really is and why she is there.
This chance encounter with Tayama in the quiet, smoke-filled alleyway becomes a pivotal moment in Sasaki’s life, drawing him into an unexpected and potentially life-changing series of events.
As he navigates the stress of his job and the comfort he finds in Yamada’s cheerful presence, the arrival of this mysterious woman adds a layer of intrigue and uncertainty to his otherwise monotonous routine. Little does he know, his life is about to take a surprising turn.
