    On Christmas morning, Kurosu (Yuki Katayama) is supposed to be working deliveries for the URBAN RIDE service, yet she idly watches her fellow couriers pedal past. When night falls and her partner Santa (Noritaka Hamao) shows up, the two seem to change completely—assembling packages, hopping on their bikes, and heading out into the city. Why do they work only after dark, and who are they really? This is a modern‑day tale of that one legendary gift‑giver everyone knows—who, despite handing out presents, never hears a single word of thanks.
