Musashi settles back into his grandmother’s home, where the familiar sights and sounds of the village stir faint echoes of his forgotten past. There he encounters Tamamo, a cheerful girl who insists they once knew each other well, though he cannot place her. Drawn by an unusual fragrance one evening, he finds himself drawn into an intimate moment with her that leaves him unsettled. The encounter marks the first step in a hidden scheme aimed at the village leader.
