Ayame Unogawa is a retired stage technician and lighting designer who now resides in a quiet, state-funded old age home on the outskirts of the city. Once known in the theater world for his meticulous eye for shadow and light, Ayame now lives a slower life, occasionally speaking to invisible stage crews and forgetting where the curtain ends. He is a gentle, whimsical presence among the home's residents, often drifting between reality and the echoes of performances long past.
