Aioi Musubi

A young man runs a family-owned eatery and shares a close bond with a worker who has been a father figure to him. The worker, Makoto, is admired for his cooking, which the young man, Kota, praises as tasting like a mother's. Their relationship is warm and familial, but this changes when a new customer arrives. This person unsettles Kota, as Makoto behaves in unfamiliar ways and shows emotions Kota has never seen before. Kota feels a growing sense of discomfort and concern that he cannot ignore.
