Uchida is in love with Nakano, but feels like she can't tell him because she turned him down when he confessed his feelings to her years ago. One day, she sees him with another girl-- Kobayashi. The three begin spending time together, Uchida wondering all the while if Kobayashi is in love with Nakano and vice versa. It isn't until much later that she finds out the true object of Kobayashi's affections...
"Maybe I could have chosen something different..." Keito is a late-20s company employee who's planning to get married as a "woman," despite not feeling cemented into a specific gender or sexuality. Meanwhile, Aya is a married woman in her 50s who continues playing out the role of "wife" despite being in a marriage that's long since gone cold. They both struggle with a gender that was decided upon birth and the "wife" role that became nothing more than a pantomime at some point. This is a story of two queer people who harbor doubts about how they've been treated and shoved into a "normalized" box, and try to take back their true selves. Be it "woman" or "wife". Be it "normal" or "common sense". This is a story for those who fight against what restricts them.
