I visit my first girlfriend Mirei's home and discover a huge portrait of a cult leader in the living room. She tells me that everyone in her family except her is a fanatical believer, but that does not change my love for her. Just as the mood between us becomes intimate, her father returns and asks me to leave because the family is about to perform an important ritual. I respect their faith and go home, never imagining the brainwashing, gang assault, and degradation that will follow.
