As a child, Natsuki doesn't fit into her family. Her parents favour her sister, and her best friend is a plush toy hedgehog named Piyyut. One summer, her cousin Yuu confides to her that he is an extraterrestrial. Natsuki wonders if she might be an alien too as she seems forced to fit into a society she deems a "baby factory." Even as a married woman she wonders if there is more to this world than the mundane reality everyone else seems to accept. The answers are out there, and Natsuki has the power to find them.
