    Fumihiko Matsumaru's life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Aka Onda, a spirited aspiring voice actress who unexpectedly joins him on a solitary outing. Their initial connection blossoms into an unlikely friendship as they discover shared proximity and a mutual reliance following a devastating event – the destruction of Aka’s home.

The series explores themes of support, vulnerability and navigating intimate boundaries in the face of shared adversity, all while attempting to maintain discretion regarding their unconventional living situation. The narrative unfolds with a quiet realism, focusing on character-driven interactions and the subtle shifts in their lives.
