Kiyotake, the protagonist of this tale, is a man without any particular direction or achievements to speak of. His occupation as an actor mostly entails snagging bit parts, requiring him to juggle multiple part-time gigs just to make ends meet. With few close connections in his life, one of his dearest companions, Shun, had passed away during his teenage years. In the present day, Kiyotake's social circle consists mainly of acquaintances, until an old friend moves in next door, broadening his horizons.
