A high school student's suicide leaves her family grappling with unanswered questions. While she appeared to have a normal life, the reason for her death remains a mystery. Her mother, Rumiko, believed she raised her daughter with love, but conflicting memories surface as they each recall past events. The mother and daughter's recollections of the same incidents reveal strikingly different perspectives, hinting at a more complex and potentially troubling reality beneath the surface of their seemingly ordinary life.
