Momiji begins to perceive Ren's spirit shortly after returning from his funeral. This ethereal connection deepens their friendship, allowing Ren to empathize with Momiji's concerns. As she grapples with the question of whether the dream everyone applauds is truly hers, the narrative also explores the complex interplay of happiness and misfortune in relation to one's upbringing and circumstances. This tale unfolds as a journey of personal growth for Momiji and her circle of friends.

This project is Mika’s first self-directed online project which was created and applied for the Student Online Theatre Festival in Japan. Even though all the team members lived in different countries and cities, they focused on the common experience they had before and tried to deliver the message to the expected student audience. As a leading role in the team (director/scriptwriter/ stage manager/ company manager), not only desired to impress the judges, Mika was aimed at creating an environment where artists can enhance themselves throughout the process. Therefore, she devoted herself to having conversations with the actors about their anxiety and perspectives on careers and then constructed the character and story based on the actor's experiences to further their conceptions. The production itself was unfortunately not able to be selected as a finalist, however, the process itself led the actors to have an interest in a new expression style.
