In the intricate narrative of the story, Ichiro takes center stage as he confronts the myriad challenges associated with middle-class life, all in pursuit of bringing joy to his family by acquiring a new home. Despite his sincere endeavors, Ichiro is confronted with an unappreciative family, expressing discontentment over the size of the newly purchased house, especially when compared to the neighboring residences. An attempt to commemorate this acquisition with a celebratory sushi feast results in an isolating experience for Ichiro, as his family opts for a restaurant outing without including him. Simultaneously, his professional life takes a hit when his boss criticizes his energy drink project, leading to substantial financial losses and subjecting him to public humiliation.
Returning home, Ichiro is thrust into another challenge as he witnesses a thug stealing from someone who bears a resemblance to himself. This distressing incident is observed by his daughter, who, instead of offering support, accuses him of cowardice. Amidst this familial turmoil, Ichiro stumbles upon an abandoned dog named Hanako, finding solace and an unwavering companion in her. Despite his wife's insistence on getting rid of the dog, Ichiro is dealt another blow when he receives distressing medical news— a stage 4 cancer diagnosis, leaving him with a mere three months to live. The isolation intensifies as his family, oblivious to his struggles, continues to ignore him during dinner. The contemplation of abandoning Hanako crosses his mind, but her unwavering loyalty tugs at his heartstrings.
