One day in Tokyo, a yellow Labrador Retriever puppy is born among a litter of five. This puppy is unique, wherein he has a bird-shaped mark on his left side. Following a simple communication test, he is selected to become a guide dog; hence his first parting. After being picked up by dog trainer Satoru Tawada, the puppy is flown to Kyoto to live with Isamu and Mitsuko Nii - a married couple who are "puppy walkers", people who raise guide dogs for a year. There, the couple name him "Quill", after discovering the word in an English-Japanese dictionary. As soon as Quill reaches the age of one, he is handed back to Tawada to undergo guide dog training; this becomes his second parting.

De retour dans l’institution de redressement d’une église, Rô se livre à tous les blasphèmes, mettant la religion à l’épreuve. Le murmure des dieux lui parvient à travers les écouteurs transparents d’un poste radio en germanium. Pourquoi sommes-nous ainsi enfermés dans la vie ? Nous savons pourtant bien qu’à cette question il n’est point de réponse. Simplement, une autre pensée se dégage indistinctement, en suspens. « La vie est pleine de bonheur », et dans ce bonheur il y a blessures, douleurs, souffrances désirées comme le fait d’en infliger à autrui, et cet incoercible sentiment de vacuité… Et pourtant, inexplicablement, l’on ressent un espoir. Alors que nul ne sait ni pourquoi, ni où cela peut nous mener…
