The narrator introduces us to a young woman named rena Fushimi, who works for a company. She's 29 years old, and she's having a crisis. She doesn't remember what happened to her the night before, but she does know that the guy next to her is a "rising star" of the company, and they're both working on a project together. She asks him what's up, and he says that he's in love with her. She tells him that she'd like to go out for dinner with him, but he said that he had something important to talk to her about, and that he wanted her to try out a new product he'd just finished making. He gives her a sample of the new product, which he calls a "woman's comfort oil," and she gives it to him.
