45-year-old school teacher; lost her husband to cancer two years ago and now lives with her daughter and son-in-law. Her daughter's husband, Takayuki, is very kind and has become a pillar of support, helping with household chores and comforting her emotionally in place of her late husband. One day, after drinking too much at a school staff party, she became heavily intoxicated and collapsed in the entryway upon returning home. Takayuki gently came to her aid, carefully tending to her as she nearly passed out. His warmth and care left a lasting impression deep within her heart.
