An elder spirit who crosses into the afterlife bar alongside a young stranger, soon thrust into a high-stakes billiards match where the prize is the fate of one's soul. Despite his opponent's attempts at intimidation and physical aggression, the old man remains an island of calm, countering each provocation with masterful technique and an unwavering mind. Between shots, he quietly reflects on the modest, genuine moments that colored his mortal life. The discipline forged through years of kendo in his youth, combined with decades of billiards mastery, converges in this ultimate contest. Ultimately, the arbiter recognizes the sincerity and clarity with which he lived, granting him the rare verdict of reincarnation.
