Mari traveled to a hot spring inn with her husband and son. Her son had failed his university entrance exams and was retaking them, so this trip was meant to be a relaxing getaway. However, her husband was strict, constantly telling his son, "Getting into a good university and landing a good job will decide your entire life." Mari watched anxiously, unable to say anything in response. As days passed at the inn, her son was buried in daily studying, growing increasingly exhausted. Unable to endure it any longer, he headed to the outdoor bath while his mother was bathing.
