The husband's deep-seated "cuckold desire" is portrayed with intense realism. Everyone sees Misa as a "desirable woman," and he can't help but feel overwhelmed knowing others are drawn to her. Yet she remains his, and he clings to that belief—this harsh reality shakes him to the core. As people fall for Misa and envy him, the suffocating sense of impending loss hits like a visceral emotion. He trembles with fear at the thought of her loving someone else. But he's powerless to stop it. That mix of helplessness and longing lies buried at the heart of this confession.
