Reiko's husband is always locked in the room, absorbed in video games, completely oblivious to her emotional needs. One day, her brother-in-law comes to visit, and Reiko decides to vent her frustrations to him. He immediately understands her loneliness and provocatively asks, "Isn't it not your heart that's lonely, but your body?" Surprised by his words, Reiko finds herself emotionally shaken by the warmth she hasn't felt in a long time—and ultimately surrenders to her brother-in-law's advances.
