On the edge of the bustling city, there is an inconspicuous convenience store.
A female employee with white hair and red eyes. She is silent and has a deep sea-like loneliness in her eyes.
She is trapped between two worlds: the land she longs for but cannot truly integrate into, and the vastly empty ocean where she is the only one left.
Every day, she disappears on time at dusk and returns to the shackles of the tide. Day after day, like a stranded mermaid, she watches silently in loneliness.
Until one afternoon, a girl wearing a shabby red and white miko costume walked into this convenience store following an unprecedented emotional wave.
She walked towards Lingxi, looked directly into those bright red eyes, and softly asked a question that went straight to her soul:
"Excuse me... Are you lonely?"
