Thirty-nine-year-old Nozue went from living a routine, melancholic life of sleep and work to spending his days in bliss with Togawa, his younger subordinate. Now six months into their relationship, the two have graduated from dates at a pancake shop to spending their nights together, but when a coworker spots Togawa wearing one of Nozue's ties to work, it sends Nozue spiraling into doubt about the feasibility of their relationship.
