Hiroto is a 29-year-old part-timer without a care in the world-no troubles, no lovers, no stable job. Twice a week, he visits the house of an elderly woman he met on a whim to share a meal with her. One winter, she suddenly dies, leaving the house to Hiroto. Three months later, Hiroto's sensitive cousin Natsumi comes to live with him while attending an art university.
Natsumi blunders through her self-introduction at art university and is convinced she blew her only chance to make new friends.

Returning from work, Hiroto runs into Natsumi at Asagaya Station. The latter has been skipping class due to her lack of friends and was wandering around town. Natsumi questions why Hiroto always seems so worry-free and his answer surprises her. Upon resuming class, she reunites with Akari Yokoyama, the girl who gave her water when she was drunk.
