Synopsis
On a normal day, a stranger breaks into Sumire’s apartment and assaults her. While Sumire reacts incredibly calm to the incident, she still feels the dangers and uncertainties creeping upon her. All that seemed to be peaceful and ordinary starts to collapse. As everything slips toward the unexpected, Sumire starts writing again and reinvestigating the relationships around her.

Director's statement
The film depicts the story of how she confronts the deep-seated fears that have already spread within her, faces love and malice within her relationships, and accepts her own self-loathing and despair. These are Sumire’s most difficult days, but perhaps shattering is not necessarily a bad thing, because destruction signifies the light for new changes.
