A man who had worked at the same company for three years began an affair with a married female colleague two years ago. He lied to his mistress's husband, claiming "clients' companies often take Saturdays off, so I have frequent business entertainment on Fridays," turning Friday evenings into a routine of meeting at love hotels. Since his home was far from the office, he believed his wife would never find out, eagerly anticipating each weekly encounter. Though somewhat forceful during sex, he felt satisfied knowing she desired him. He would wake up at the usual time for commuting, often lazing around until work. They sometimes had sex again while showering together, leaving him completely exhausted by the time he headed to the office. One day, while relaxing at the hotel as usual, he suddenly received a front desk message: "A guest has arrived." Realizing his wife had come, he panicked, quickly dressed, calmly muttered, "This is going to turn into something terrible," and sat down on a chair. Moments later, a knock came at the door—his wife appeared. She attacked him furiously, punching and kicking. Overcome with guilt, he didn't resist and was beaten severely. His lover desperately stepped in to stop her, finally calming the situation, but his wife hurled the harshest verbal abuse he'd ever experienced. Afterwards, she said, "I'll talk outside—wait here," leaving him alone in the room. During her absence, overwhelmed by pain and regret, he broke down in tears, consumed by self-loathing. Two hours later, he and his wife returned, agreeing to discuss things properly later, and he was temporarily released. But his wife's expression was so terrifying that he couldn't bring himself to go to work that day. The following week, the incident became office gossip. Apparently, he himself reported it to his supervisor after being told to by his wife. With no excuses left and losing confidence working alongside her, he intended to quit—until his boss offered a transfer. Feeling indifferent, he accepted. Later, during discussions with his wife, she demanded he appear in an AV as personal atonement, not financial compensation. Though he understood she'd spoken in emotional extremes, he figured a change of environment might allow a fresh start if it brought her peace—and so he decided to participate.
