Married woman Chise (34 years old). A married woman's first encounter with a man on a one-night, two-day trip. The 143rd installment of the hit series. A 24-hour close-up of a married woman tormented by her father's psychological grip. She wants to grow stronger. To avoid losing her husband... A second-year housewife with no children. Her father divorced her mother during her time at ● school, neglecting family life. After graduation, she and her older sister supported their ailing mother, but financial hardship forced her to move to Tokyo after turning thirty. She began working live-in at a traditional restaurant in central Tokyo. Having grown up witnessing her father's cruel treatment toward her mother, Chise suffered from severe distrust of people. The only one who supported her emotionally was her husband, five years her senior. They became acquainted when he frequented the restaurant for business entertainment, eventually dating and marrying a year later. Yet Chise carried inner turmoil—fear of losing her husband due to her own emotional fragility—prompting her to embark on a journey of self-mastery. She writhed in anguish.
