A story set in a world where God has departed and only religion remains. A lonely robot is left behind in a closed, deserted old building. She longs to leave and explore the world outside, but her abilities are limited due to her immaturity, narrow field of vision, and difficulty in moving her body. After a long journey to the center of the building, she attempts to install a program that will help her grow and improve her abilities. With a successful upgrade, the robot's field of vision expands, and she experiences the beauty of the outside world. However, her program fails halfway through her journey due to a power loss, leaving her stranded and alone, enveloped by the beautiful world and blessed only by the light of the building.
