Synopsis

Chiikawa dreams of living as "something small and cute." If something unpleasant happens, Chiikawa cries loudly, flails about, and dashes away. When tired from running, Chiikawa collapses onto the floor to sleep, wishing for something happy to be waiting upon waking, envisioning a desired life in the order of confusion, escape, rest, and joy.

Chiikawa imagines a cream puff larger than Chiikawa's own body, diving into the cream and eating it enthusiastically. With a giant hotcake, Usagi uses a spatula to cut a slice, and the two of them press their mouths to the edge. Events surrounding food continue, such as Usagi holding a hot pizza bun and turning its back to the approaching Chiikawa to keep eating, or a slice of yellow cheese looming over Chiikawa.

Kurimanju walks while holding a bread stuffed with filling and a bottle, continuing its meal even in front of Chiikawa after bumping into them. In another scene, nagano's bear takes away a large broccoli that Usagi was carrying, and Chiikawa and Usagi watch its back. In the hallway of an apartment complex, Usagi sits in the reception box of a "temporary storage for slightly used masks," and nagano's bear, looking at the price list, ponders.
