Nozomu Itoshiki is accused of spying after photographing his nephew and Kafuka Fuura at a public pool. He blames societal suspicion and accepts a secret mission from Kafuka to isolate himself. She employs positive counter-intelligence by spreading urban legends to confuse the public. Later, Nozomu asserts that pretense is exposed in May, revealing students' secrets, though some are imagined. In the final segment, Chiri Kitsu attempts to correct world imbalances by enforcing a strict 50/50 ratio on all things, leading to varied outcomes. The narrative explores themes of suspicion, exposure, and artificial equilibrium through these distinct scenarios involving the characters' interactions and philosophical observations.
