[Synopsis]
At a boxing training gym, Shunichi, who works hard at sparring, had the weakness of being hit too much. On TV, a video of the 9/11 terrorist attacks was shown, and Shunichi was staring at the TV with his colleagues. A few years have passed since then, and the time is 2007. My father came alone from the countryside to the noodle factory where Shunichi works. Shunichi's father suffers from mild dementia, and Shunichi is surprised to see him appear alone. "You have a half-brother and you're a food coordinator in New York. I'm planning to open a ramen shop next time, so I introduced you, but are you willing to work in New York?" Surprise one even more. After that, my father's mistress woman tells me that my brother died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and that he and I were two.
