Synopsis:

The series explores the blurring lines between reality and virtual identity through the lens of online gaming. Moriko Morioka, recently freed from professional constraints after a decade-long career, finds solace and purpose within the immersive world of "Fruits de Mer," an online multiplayer game. Embracing an alter ego as the popular character "Hayashi," she forges a close bond with Lily, a gentle healer within the game.

As Moriko increasingly prioritizes her virtual life, her real-world existence becomes secondary, leading to a detached lifestyle. Unbeknownst to her, another player, Yuuta Sakurai, shares a similar connection to "Fruits de Mer." Their paths cross in the mundane reality outside the game, hinting at an unexpected connection that may challenge their separate worlds and identities. The anime delicately examines themes of escapism, self-discovery, and the complexities of human relationships in the digital age.
