Misako Hatanaka, 53 years old. She lives alone with her son. Having raised him on her own, she felt immense pride when he married a few years ago and became a responsible adult. But her joy was short-lived—due to recent economic downturns, he was laid off, then divorced, and returned home. Since then, he's been searching for a job every day, coming home later and later, growing increasingly exhausted and depressed. Watching her son suffer like this, her worry deepens with each passing day.
