Sato, working at an apparel company, had spent 15 years without ever being popular with women. While his coworkers went on dates and hung out with girls every night, Sato was forced to work late, even on weekends. One night, as he was deeply focused on work late into the evening, he noticed a mannequin placed in the office. This mannequin looked strangely realistic, almost like a real human. Unconsciously reaching out to touch it, he found its surface surprisingly soft, just like human skin. Startled yet overwhelmed by the sensation of touching an actual woman, Sato became completely obsessed with the mannequin.
