Driven to desperation by my company's financial collapse, I had no choice but to bow my head to Yano—my former subordinate, now the president of a major corporation. I knew he had always resented me for the harsh treatment I gave him when he first joined the company. To my horror, he demanded that I hand over my wife, Reiko Kobayakawa, to him every Saturday. I was ordered to comply: she must return before the last train, and I was never to ask what had happened. With no other options, I had to obey. Every week, Saturday arrives filled with fear and dread. Living in ignorance of my wife's condition and what she endures only pushes me further to the edge.
