A young man has lost Miki, the woman he loved, in an accident, but tells no one and goes on describing her as alive and happy. Lying has long been his habit; now it holds off his grief and a rage that has no outlet. He carries everywhere a jar sealed in black plastic, holding something that would horrify anyone who knew.
