Ito, a full-time housewife, feels stuck in a rut in her daily life. Though she's been married for only about a year, she and her husband live like mere roommates, lacking the warmth and excitement of a newlywed couple. How did things come to this? The answer lies deep in her upbringing. Raised in a single-parent household with limited financial means, she always dreamed of building a happy family, giving her mother peace of mind, and living a fulfilling life. That dream came true when she was drawn to her husband's status as a physician and decided to marry him. Yet, beyond that practical attraction, there's been no deep emotional connection, leaving their relationship distant and hollow—a consequence deeply tied to her past.
