Meanwhile, her brother-in-law, who is having an affair with his late brother's wife, Hisayo, finds his feelings shaken when she suddenly mentions remarrying. Elsewhere, a widow offers her room at an unbelievably low price, but her reason for only accepting male tenants might hold a special meaning. A man who witnesses his grandfather and mother sleeping under the same futon feels his heart stir uncontrollably. And during her husband's wake, a woman inexplicably feels physical pain—perhaps craving someone to gently ease her suffering.
