The narrative questions whether the entertainment industry is appropriate for liars, focusing on Ai Hoshino, the star of the first episode or prologue movie. As an entity promoted solely to love her fans, she confronts the dilemma of lacking an inherent understanding of love herself. This central conflict frames the episode's concept, exploring how Japanese idols struggle to conceal personal relationships and children from the public eye. The story moves beyond the confusing premise regarding her offspring to establish a stylized interpretation of the darker aspects of the Japanese entertainment industry, which is characterized by mystery, revenge, and the presence of cute idols.
