It’s been three years since she has last heard from Tenjaku, who was working at a factory. With the end of the pandemic lockdowns, the city has started to come back to life again, and Yoru goes with friends to a club with an up-and-coming rapper performing. There, she rekindles her desire to find Tenjaku.
