The scene portrayed on screen is a quiet apartment decorated with an Asian flair. Sunlight filters through a shuttered window off screen, painting a pinstriped shadow on the walls. A small wooden cabinet adorned with shimenawa rope is plainly visible slightly left of center, appearing as the camera's focal point. The picture lingers for a few seconds before a delicate-featured young woman appears onscreen. Tomoe kneels down in front of the cabinet, pausing for a second with a deep breath before opening the twin doors to reveal a makeshift shrine. Lighting a stick of incense, she waves it gently above her head; the white smoke churns around her in thin, snaking swirls.
Placing her hands together in prayer, she sits in silence for a few passing moments before beginning to hum. Suddenly, her low humming turns into full-fledged passionate singing. Once the song is complete, she clutches her hand to her chest. A low sob is heard as the screen fades to black.
