Storyline

A quiet killer is looking for a room. The real state agent, shy and expressionless, guides him through all the rooms she can find in Tokyo, but none of these satisfy the killer's request for peace and silence. The real state agent, without any emotion, leads the poetic, soft-spoken killer towards the ruined districts the decadent economy left behind in the outskirts of Tokyo, in hopes of finding The Room. Written by Team Sono
