Tokyo where reality and delusion intertwine.
“I” am a robot, controlled by “you,” my creator, wandering endlessly through a rusted shopping street.

Even as my companions are one by one reduced to scrap, I simply long for your command to say “go.”
Creation and destruction repeat themselves. A life that is only discarded and rebuilt again and again.

Within this endless loop, she continues to gaze at “you” until the very end, trying to prove a distorted form of love.
To break is not the end—it is merely the ritual of an everyday life covered in rust, for the creation of a new me once again.
