Three years into her marriage, Shiori was living happily with her husband. However, one day, her brother-in-law lost his job in the countryside and needed a place to stay temporarily while searching for new work. Unlike her husband, the brother was quiet and blunt, making him an uncomfortable presence for Shiori. As they began living together, she started noticing his gaze—always watching her, making her feel uneasy. When she tried discussing her concerns with her husband, he ignored her, deepening her anxiety. His voyeurism escalated, and eventually, he violently raped her. Shiori fought desperately, but she was no match for his strength. Overcome with disgust and fear, she was helplessly violated. In that moment, a painful memory resurfaced—being raped during her student years, a traumatic experience that had left a deep scar on her soul.
