Synopsis:

The narrative follows Katagiri Kanade, a young woman who has withdrawn from the world, content within the confines of her imagination. A surreal encounter in a dream sets off a chain of events that unexpectedly pushes her to confront her anxieties and re-enter society. A chance meeting with a skilled hairdresser in a park provides a catalyst for change, leading to renewed confidence and a tentative step back into her former life.

As Kanade navigates this transition, she finds herself surrounded by individuals who offer support and a glimpse of connection: a familiar face from her past, a supportive teacher, and the enigmatic hairdresser who initiated her journey. The series explores themes of overcoming isolation, self-discovery, and the subtle ways human interaction can reshape one’s perspective on life. It presents a quiet exploration of personal growth within an everyday setting.
