Over time, he forms an unexpected bond with Mitsuru Watase, a prisoner serving a death sentence for killing the person responsible for his parents' deaths. As their relationship develops, Oikawa begins to question the role and necessity of the death penalty, as well as the nature of repentance and forgiveness. The story explores the death penalty system from the perspectives of both the guards who carry out their duties and the prisoners facing execution. The narrative is informed by thorough research and presents a direct examination of the subject.
