The story centers around Takashi, a young man who becomes entangled in a web of emotional and psychological turmoil after the death of his twin sister, Akiko. Takashi, who has always felt overshadowed by Akiko's vibrant personality and beauty, begins to grapple with his grief in unconventional ways. His mourning takes a dramatic turn when he starts to dress and act like Akiko, adopting her identity as a means of coping with her loss.
