Plot summary
Kotoko raises her baby son, Daijiro, on her own while hallucinations make the people around her appear as violent doubles. She harms herself, drawn to her body's refusal to give in, and notices the visions stop while she is singing. A breakdown in the kitchen while she tries to cook brings suspicions that she has hurt her son; Daijiro is placed with her sister and her family. On a bus ride to visit him, Kotoko sings, and a man notices her. He later approaches her on the roof of her building, and though she stabs his hand with a fork when he asks her out, he tells her his name is Tanaka Seitaro and that he is an award-winning novelist.
