A 14-year-old schoolgirl (Yamada Anna) is about to take her own life. Existence has become an unbearable torment: She is abused at home and mercilessly bullied at school. Death, she feels, will be her only release. But at the last moment, a silver-haired young man wearing a white face mask (Uesugi Shuhei) intervenes to save her. He takes her to a one-room apartment.

In the apartment, the man begins to call her Sachi (meaning “happiness”), a name she begins to like. She, in turn, calls him “Mister” and begins to develop affection for him.
