How long is it since they last slept with each other? They're not married, yet they spend their lives in much the same way as an old married couple.

One day, I could see numbers above people's heads. Hyakukan, who works as an apprentice assistant for photographers, is 33 years old. My hobbies are photography, my work is photography, and my boyfriend-less calendar = age. Even at the alumni association, the disposition of being asked, "Is it so much work and fun in life?" I thought I was happy to be able to do what I liked, but on the way back, the moment I lost consciousness when I was involved in a traffic accident, I thought about love and regret for work. It was a hundred rings that miraculously regained consciousness, but then things like numbers became visible above people's heads ...! ?? The numbers indicate the fate of each ...?
