Synopsis
After finishing high school, thirty-year-old Moriko Morioka unexpectedly finds herself unemployed, a situation she welcomes with joy. Having resigned from a job held for over a decade, she devotes her newfound free time to online gaming, creating a male avatar named Hayashi in the MMO Fruits de Mer. Freed from real-world social duties, Moriko immerses herself completely in the game, quickly forming a close bond with Lily, a kind and adorable healer. The duo soon becomes inseparable as Moriko increasingly identifies with her in-game persona, Hayashi. Slowly, she adopts a reclusive lifestyle, leaving her apartment only when absolutely necessary. Meanwhile, across town, Yuuta Sakurai, a timid office worker in his late twenties, is also playing Fruits de Mer. One evening, their paths cross at a convenience store, but both dismiss the meeting as a mere coincidence, unaware of the destiny that will soon entwine their lives.
