At the same escort service, Akiyo works as a call girl, saving up for a high-floor condo for a dark retirement plan, all while hiding her true identity from her old school friend Kikuchi. Meanwhile, low-level office worker Chihiro struggles with relationships, often letting men use her for sex while dreaming of a boyfriend who acts like a generous God. Chihiro shares an apartment with Toko, an obsessive illustrator who secretly battles bulimia.
