Something follows Shōko Kawasaki home from her solitary walk on the levee path. She knows he is trailing behind her. Ignoring all reason, she even beckons the forlorn creature inside. Utterly bereft, he crawls under her bed and hides. Caring for him in the secret closeness of her room transforms them both. As she draws him back from the brink, deep feelings awaken, forgotten and heartbreakingly perilous-for there is another, the woman he believes has abandoned him. She is devastated by his disappearance and is pushing the police to search for him. If Shōko and her hidden visitor are found out, the tender bond between them, a thread they desperately hope fate has woven, could be ripped apart.
