Yamashita was supposed to deliver something to his department chief's house, but he is surprised by an unexpected turn of events. It is not the chief, but his wife, Kyoko, who greets him. With the last train approaching late at night, Yamashita tries to leave quickly, but Kyoko stops him, saying, "Wait, I need to talk to you..." As they start drinking together alone, Kyoko's inner struggles gradually come to light. She confides her distress over her relationship with her husband—the department chief—who has been ignoring her lately. Then, suddenly, Kyoko tightly grabs Yamashita's hand and speaks with deep emotion, leaving a powerful impression on him.
