One day, while cleaning up the neighborhood with his wife Yuki, they were approached by Chairman Sugaura and his associates, who announced an upcoming mandatory camping trip requiring full participation. Despite it being held on a weekday, and having work commitments, he firmly refused to attend. However, after Sugaura later warned Yuki that problems might arise within the women's association if she didn't cooperate, she made the bold decision to join. Though uneasy about the presence of other women, he reluctantly allowed his wife to go. That night, learning that only four people were attending, something inside him began to waver.
