Now that she has turned 20, she works a part-time job late night at a supermarket which opens 24 hours. Besides that, drawing pictures is her only emotional refuge. One day, Sachi is accosted by one of the supermarket's regular customers, Mayu, a 17-year-old girl who has runaway from home. On the first day of their meeting, Mayu comes to live at Sachi's apartment, and like a stray cat, she ends up staying.
