The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A bookstore clerk named Haru secretly follows and studies the expressions of a man named Tsuyoshi. He also approaches a woman named Yukiko, pretending to ask for directions because he sees deep sorrow on her face.
