The story

Lars Lindstrom lives a quiet life in a small town.

As a result, he exhibits avoidance behaviors and is avoidant of touching others (haphephobia), causing social awkwardness and isolation.

Despite Karin's efforts to bring Lars out of his shell, interacting with or relating to his family and co-workers is very difficult for him.
