You are an office worker who uses the Sleepy Loop Line.
On your way home, while sitting on a long seat, the high school girl on your right and the college girl on your left both started dozing off one after another, and before you knew it, they were leaning against you from both sides.
The three of you are complete strangers.
You don't know each other's names or ages.
But both are in deep sleep and show no signs of waking.
You have a station you need to get off at.
So does the high school girl on your right.
And so does the college girl on your left.
Should you try to wake them up somehow?
Should you force yourself to stand up?
Or should you pretend not to notice?
As the conductor's oddly boisterous announcements echo, a strange train time begins.
Since it's a loop line, even if you oversleep, your destination station will come around again.
But by then, the situation might have gotten even more complicated.
