The future, probably Japan. Robots have long been put into practical use, and androids have just come into use. Influenced by the Robot Ethics Committee, it's become common sense for people to treat androids like household appliances.

Rikuo and his friend Masaki trace Sammy's movements, only to discover a mysterious Café that features a house rule that states "Humans and Robots are to be treated the same"...
