Masayuki and Osamu, who work at a paid parking lot, developed feelings for each other through a conversation with two girls, Sachie and her friend Mikiko, in the bustle of Shinjuku. That night, they spent a casual evening at Masayuki's apartment. Unable to endure the noise of the trains, Masayuki moved to Hatagaya. One day, he reunited with Sachie, and she moved into his apartment. A few days later, when they returned home from an outing, they found a chubby middle-aged man lying on the floor. The man claimed to be an insurance agent and took up residence there, citing a stomachache as the reason. A strange three-way cohabitation began. Masayuki quit the parking lot job and started long-distance trucking with Osamu. One day, when Masayuki returned home from work, he found Sachie and the middle-aged man sleeping side by side on the floor. "The crematorium is nearby, and I'm scared to sleep alone..." Although he felt a fondness for Sachie, a cold wind blew between them. They moved to an apartment in Shinjuku where Osamu lived. Here, they discovered that Sachie was pregnant. "Get rid of it," Masayuki coldly pushed her away. Those words felt painfully cutting to Sachie. With issues about rent and the baby, they moved to Chofu to escape their frustration. Sachie was nine months pregnant. Eventually, a baby boy was born, and even the grumbling Masayuki showed doting fatherhood, and they were happy. However, the manager, Kuniko, always looked at the couple with curiosity, and she played explicit pranks filled with malice towards Sachie and the baby. Furthermore, upon hearing the news of Sachie's beloved grandmother passing away, Sachie's heart became unsettled, prompting a move once more for a change of scenery. This time, they found a cheap house in Katsushika in the downtown area. Their neighbor, Fumiko, was very kind to them. In fact, Masayuki and the others' house had once been the site of a family suicide, and it had been vacant for a long time. The beam from which someone hung and the blood-soaked tatami. Masayuki endured the fear and did not inform Sachie. However, a few days later, after Sachie bought an extravagant double bed, Masayuki thought that Sachie might know about the suicide. He couldn't sleep on the blood-stained tatami in the past. That day, the neighbor, Keizo, was plucking feathers from a bird. The feathers triggered Sachie's bird allergy, and from that night on, her behavior changed drastically, suddenly hitting Masayuki. The next day, Sachie injured a rice shop clerk with a beer bottle, her eyes gleaming strangely as she bit into a chicken's thigh... Sachie was placed under protection behind the iron doors of a mental hospital. A few days later, Masayuki moved again. This time, just him and the baby...
