Closing the is THE REAL YOU!

Synopsis: “I’ve got something important to tell you.” With these final words, Akiko suddenly passed away, revealing that she had actually chosen “elective death.” Why had a mother who seemed happy desired to end her own life? Desperate to uncover his mother’s true intentions, Sakuya ventures into uncharted technological territory. He turns to VF (Virtual Figure), a technology that aggregates personal data from one’s life to create a “human” in a virtual space. Although he feels unease when Nozaki, the developer of VF, says, “I can create your mother even more real than the original...”
