Minako helps sort the papers of an Okinawan museum and loves her other job: reading quiz questions online to people working alone at the edges of the world, in space, under polar seas, in a war-zone bunker. On a stormy night a Miyako pony strays in, and the island's records and those listeners' memories link up.
