Withdrawn into the forest, a young couple imagine to be living a life of great danger, as warriors, or dragons. Trying to reason with their sense of self, they remove their VR headsets.
After a traumatic event, partially shown in sequences of anime, the protagonist narrates an encounter with a judge. The judge explains that the things we’ve just seen, and heard of, did not really happen, and do not correspond to the empirical facts. She pleads her case with the judge, but when he dismisses it, the couple proceed deeper into their phantasmatic sphere.
