In the bleak and monotonous world of Tokyo, Katsumi toils away in a state of perpetual dissatisfaction, suffocated by the mundane routine that has become his life. A lazy and uninspired individual, he has lost all sense of purpose and passion, drifting listlessly through each day without any sense of direction or motivation. It is in this pitiful state that Katsumi stumbles upon a peculiar and intriguing pastime – "peeping", or voyeurism, into the lives of his unknown neighbors in the apartment building where he resides. Fueled by curiosity and a desire for excitement, Katsumi begins to sneak peeks into the lives of those around him, uncovering the often-abnormal and frequently bizarre daily routines of his fellow tenants. He becomes enthralled by the hidden world behind the closed doors, where the seemingly ordinary and mundane become bizarre and inexplicable. As he delves deeper into this world of secret lives, Katsumi finds himself becoming increasingly obsessed with the thrill of discovery and the rush of adrenaline that comes with it. It is amidst this chaotic and voyeuristic world that Katsumi's attention is drawn to a mysterious high school girl named Mika. With her enigmatic presence and captivating aura, Mika seems to embody all the qualities that Katsumi himself lacks – innocence, curiosity, and a sense of adventure. Mika's presence in the apartment building serves as a catalyst for Katsumi's newfound obsession, as he becomes fixated on uncovering the truth behind her peculiar behavior. Mika's visits to a middle-aged man in the building have become the focus of Katsumi's attention, as he strives to understand the nature of their relationship and the secrets that Mika may be hiding. Employing his technical skills as an enthusiast and amateur hacker, Katsumi begins to use his high-tech expertise to peep into Mika's life, following her every move and intercepting her communications in a desperate bid to uncover her true identity. As Katsumi becomes more and more entrenched in his obsession, he becomes increasingly enthralled by Mika's enigmatic charms. Her seemingly innocuous behavior, combined with her captivating presence, has a profound impact on Katsumi, awakening a sense of intrigue and allure that he has never experienced before. However, as the layers of Mika's mystery begin to peel away, Katsumi discovers that her true face is far more complex and nuanced than he ever could have imagined. Beneath her seemingly ordinary exterior, Mika harbors a dark and troubled past, a world of pain and suffering that threatens to shatter the very foundations of her fragile identity. As Katsumi confronts the reality of Mika's existence, he is faced with a choice – to continue his voyeuristic exploits, fueled by a morbid curiosity and an insatiable desire for knowledge, or to take a step back and confront the true nature of his obsession. Will he be able to break free from his voyeuristic chains and form a genuine connection with Mika, or will the allure of the unknown continue to drive him deeper into the depths of his own obsessional madness? In the end, Katsumi is forced to confront the dark and troubled reality of Mika's world, a world of pain and suffering that threatens to consume him whole. Will he emerge from this ordeal transformed, or will the shadows of his own obsession forever define him? The question hangs in the balance, as the veil of mystery surrounding Mika's true identity is slowly lifted, revealing a complex and intricate portrait of a young girl on the brink of collapse.
