The man was seeking pleasure beyond sex. And the ultimate ecstasy he sought was pace poles and the death throes of a person. The man drags his friend Shinichi and his girlfriend Akiko into his world of madness, gradually corrupting their relationship and manipulating them. Then, he murders Shinichi in front of Akiko. Akiko's mind and body collapse from the shock, and the man toys with her for his own pleasure. However, Akiko's mind gradually becomes abnormal, and she enters a world where madness can be sanity.

Light Point · 1996

"The clouds are rushing by, and the architecture of men fit so well in that movement. The bricks. The light is harsh and blue. But in the night it is different, you walk down the street and the sun turns into a light bulb again, the houses are asleep. It feels like thunder and the houses seemed to be dipped into blue and turquoise colours. And then it all turns blue again."
