Story Synopsis
Sasaki is a middle-aged office worker weighed down by endless work. His days feel repetitive and empty, and the only things that bring him comfort are cigarettes and the smile of Yamada, a young employee at the supermarket near his home. One day, after another exhausting shift, he visits the supermarket as usual but finds that Yamada is not working. Disappointed, he searches for a smoking area but cannot find one, until a woman in a biker jacket named Tayama invites him to smoke with her at a secret spot she knows behind the store.
