Feelings of inferiority toward a successful childhood friend and his hidden invitation.
In your third year as a working professional, you are worn down by unfamiliar tasks and workplace politics. At a reunion drinking session with four childhood friends from elementary school, Moeka finds herself overwhelmed by how much brighter the others seem, hiding behind a forced smile. In particular, Kaito, who is excelling at a major corporation, shines so brightly it's painful to even look at him. After the group disbands, Moeka is left alone on the station platform when a familiar voice reaches her back. "Hey, want to grab a drink, just the two of us?" A quiet street corner after the last train has gone. Without knowing why he went out of his way to stop her, Moeka steps out into the night city as he leads the way.
