Dokko is sitting on a chair in the middle of his littered room. He conducted experiments for six months but mixed up the data, which is why his nervous system is completely destroyed. Olga takes care of him and decides to give him pills to bring him back to normal. Suddenly she hears Carlin singing a song while lying in a hammock and decides to prescribe Docco music therapy. Carlin will sing to him every day for three hours, because nothing calms like music.

Carlin starts the first session. He decides to help him be sad properly and plays him a sad song on the piano. Dokko does not come out of an apathetic state and even bites off a piece of the plate.

Carlin sings a new song for Dokko on the hill. Suddenly, Carlin notices that his friend got up from his chair and walked to the edge of the cliff. Dokko still can't forget his research. Carlin pushes him away from the edge.

Dokko and Carlin are on a boat, and Carlin is singing a new song to his friend. The song brings raven to tears, but suddenly he sees how Dokko begins to smile and applaud him. Carlin asks if he is feeling better, and Dokko nods in response. Carlin faints.

Carlin wakes up in his bed, and Olga takes care of him. She forbids him to sing songs because he exhausted all his nerves while bringing Dokko to his senses and decides to give him pills. Dokko brings a drum kit into the house and starts playing a song for Carlin to bring him to his senses, but raven does not like his singing, so he takes the guitar himself.

Carlin and Dokko are sitting on a bench by the river. Carlin sings a song, and Dokko is beaten to the beat with cymbals. Olga runs up to them and is very angry that they stayed up late, especially since she forbade them to sing. Carlin's song calms her down. Olga sits down on a bench and sings with him.
