Asato Watanabe

Since the suicide of his classmate a few years before, a young man named Tatsumi stays shut inside his parent’s house, refusing to leave his room and stuck in a limbo of confusion and grief. One day, something breaks inside him and he starts to run. He runs non-stop, as if something has awoken inside of him. His then finds himself wandering around the streets, searching for where to go. While searching, he comes across a strange funeral service, full of vagrants and drunkards. There he meets a vagrant named Tsuchiro and the two form a close bond.

Absolutely not. Just don't let that thing find me...no matter what...absolutely not. Nakajima Shiori is running away from the mysterious man. She escapes to a logistics warehouse. She is saved by Mai Yazaki, who was working there, and the two decide to work together. Tormented by the shadow of the man creeping up on her, Nakajima begins to talk about her mother's murder. Inorganic objects such as cars, stairs, smartphones, and CRT televisions loom over them. The hidden things are revealed, and the strings are strung together. I want to escape, but I can't. I don't want to escape. I don't want to run away, because I will lose who I am if the bonds are removed.
