My wife was invited on a hot springs trip by her best friend, Adachi. Lately, I've been so busy with work that I haven't had time to take her anywhere, so although I was a bit worried, I emphasized the importance of staying in frequent contact and sent her off. That night, when I tried calling my wife, it seemed both she and Adachi had been drinking. Her voice sounded flustered as she quickly ended the call, leaving me with an uneasy feeling. After that, I lost all contact with my wife—no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't reach her anywhere.
