Her husband comes home drunk with his subordinate Hayami and starts berating him about work at the family dinner table. His wife, Kotone, gently tries to defuse the situation, caring for her exhausted husband while also showing concern for Hayami. But Hayami becomes obsessed with her casual mannerisms and voluptuous body, feeding a twisted desire deep inside him. The next morning, her husband admits that a workplace bullying complaint has put him before an internal review and left his job in jeopardy. Hayami then appears before the shaken Kotone again. Using his testimony as leverage, he tells her that her husband’s fate depends entirely on his word and offers her a cold-blooded “deal,” forcing her toward an irreversible choice.
