I had dropped out of college and was living a dull, aimless life when suddenly, something unexpected happened. One day, my mother called to tell me that my aunt, Yuko, who lived nearby, would be staying over to take care of me.

Those two days she spent in my room turned into an unforgettable experience, one so intense that I completely forgot about sweating through the days or the sweltering summer heat.
