Summary:

It's endearing, but it's also disheartening. That child of an irreplaceable "stranger". A friendship that begins to entangle when a best friend who is supposed to be dead appears for the first time in four years. A large newcomer, a brilliant debut! "If it wasn't for me, it would have been better for me," he said of a phone call from his best friend, Asahi, who was supposed to be dead. Tokiko is delighted to be reunited with her girlfriend, whom she has always wanted to meet, but when she invites Asahi, who says that she has no address, to her home, she eventually settles in her house. Nominated for the 171st Akutagawa Prize.
