Synopsis
Mari sips her coffee and glances up from a book as a musician, intrudes on her solitude. Both have missed the last train home. They realise they've been acquainted through Eri, Mari's sister. Eri has become the classic myth - a sleeping beauty. But tonight a faint electrical crackle is perceptible, a hint of life flickers across the TV screen.
