[ Story ]
A writer Ippei Sekiya decides to end his life one day on his way home, contemplating suicide by jumping in front of a train at a station platform. However, just as he is about to jump, a person is hit by a train at the next station, which makes him reconsider. In tribute to Tomohiro, the man who died instead of him, Ippei sneaks into Tomohiro's funeral. Upon returning home, he is confronted by the ghost of Tomohiro. Grateful that Ippei continues to live because of his death, Tomohiro makes an astonishing request: "Will you kill the man who is stalking my daughter Aya?"
Driven by the persistent ghost, who vows to haunt him until the deed is done, Ippei begins to investigate the stalker. It turns out that the stalker is Aya's divorced ex-husband. Ippei, pretending it's a coincidence, helps Aya, who is being pursued by her ex-husband. Upon discovering that she enjoys comedy, he invites her to a live show featuring a comedian he manages. However, Ippei struggles to finalize a satisfactory script...
As Ippei pleads for the revenge to wait until after the success of the live show, Tomohiro surprisingly offers ideas for the act. Through the process of creating the script, an unexpected friendship begins to blossom between Ippei and the ghost.
