[Synopsis]
Mami Kurata, a psychological counselor who works in a psychological counseling room, was 6 months pregnant, and that day was her last day before maternity leave. A woman named Akemi Yoshitaka who did not make a reservation comes in front of Mami who has forgotten the last counselor who was scheduled. Akemi begins to say, "I can see youkai," to Mami, who had no choice but to ask only the content of the consultation. The dark story told from the mysterious Akemi's mouth drives Mami's delusions, and Mami is gradually swallowed by a whirlpool of anxiety.
