Story guide
Chiikawa imagines becoming a small, cute being and living as they feel like. When something unpleasant happens, they want to be deeply shocked, cry out and thrash about, then dash away. After running until exhausted, their ideal is to collapse onto the floor and fall asleep right away. They also hope something happy will be waiting when they wake up. In the final image, they jump for joy with another small figure like themself, linking the life Chiikawa wants through confusion, escape, rest, and delight.

nagano's bear puts food from a plate into their mouth one bite after another and tips up a container to finish their drink with gusto. After eating until the plate is empty, they show their delight at being full and head to bed while still savoring the feeling. Their wish runs continuously from getting into the futon straight through to falling asleep, without waiting or doing anything else first. It is not about choosing a quantity or menu, but about a life in which they can eat to their heart's content and rest the moment they are satisfied; it ends with their gentle sleeping breaths from under the futon.

Chiikawa imagines eagerly eating the cream inside a cream puff as large as their own body. They bite into it so energetically that cream covers their whole body, yet they keep eating without minding. Once they finish and realize the cream is gone, sadness outweighs satisfaction and they start to cry. They carefully wash themself clean, return to their usual appearance, and get into bed. They fall asleep thinking about the cream puff, placing both the joy of indulging in a favorite food and the reluctance to see it gone within one ideal.

Chiikawa imagines living with an unusual hat that is as large and soft-looking as a cloud. Walking around with it on, they are seen as cute and well suited to it, and they happily show it off with pride. Once satisfied, they take the hat home and sink into its puffiness rather than putting it away as something to wear. They use it as a bed and fall asleep in it, imagining one item that fulfills both the wish to be praised for an outfit and the wish for a place to rest while enveloped.
Story guide
Chiikawa imagines having to keep carrying things themself on rainy days or when they have a lot of luggage. If the weight and fatigue leave them so worn out that they collapse and cry, they wish someone would put them in a small cart. In the imagined scene, a roofed vehicle linked to a luggage cart moves along on its own, letting Chiikawa travel without walking while holding their things. It races all the way home, and both Chiikawa and their luggage roll into the room still inside the vehicle. The ideal is not merely easier travel, but being carried from the place where they are exhausted into their home without getting out once.
