Features: On the night before a business trip, "I" went on a date with my girlfriend, Mayumi Noguchi. We had one and a half cocktails with a strange name, and ended up completely drunk. My six-month girlfriend took me to her apartment, but twice during the way, her phone rang. She claimed both calls were "silent calls." At the apartment entrance, she said she was going to buy apples and left me alone inside. Unwittingly, I never returned and lost contact with her. Is there a connection between my girlfriend's sudden disappearance, the "silent calls," and the apples? "I" followed the clues and tracked her down, though I learned some of her movements that night, I still couldn't find her. "I" was anxious, "I" didn't understand, and the left me helpless. Five years later, one day, "I" bumped into my girlfriend by chance and finally learned the truth from her. I was relieved, though a new sense of doubt and shadow settled in my heart.
