Plot
An aspiring poet who has finished studying in Tokyo, the first-person narrator laments that he cannot meet the expectations of his family. For his family, he sells his poetry book manuscripts at a much lower price and borrows money from his friends, but his family has no future. He wakes up from a dream about being caught by the police while committing a robbery.
