My father, selfish by nature, abandoned my mother after 30 years of marriage and left home. That night, my mother drank until she was completely drunk. While I was tending to her in that state, my hand accidentally touched her breast. Awakening to the sensation, my mother confessed, "Takashi, you were thinking something lewd, weren't you? I can tell—we share the same blood, after all, you and I." Overcome by her sorrow, I gave in to the feelings I'd kept hidden and ultimately became physically intimate with her.
