Plot
If trauma is left untreated for a long time, it will cause one to lose love and other functions. The fowl that does not dance has other difficulties, too. University drop-out Souma saw her peer Marina catching a man who groped a girl. Later, he encounters Marina again and musters the courage to help her when she is being harrassed. The two begin to talk about everything, doing yoga to understand their bodies before Soma finally confides his dark past to Marina.
