■Synopsis: One day, out of the blue, a mysterious “Kujima”—neither bird nor human—appeared at the house. It talks. It sings. It chirps. Sometimes it brings laughter, and sometimes it brings tears. Just by being there, its presence gently transformed the family’s daily life. A fleeting yet heartwarming family story woven by a small “mystery.”
