After 13 years of marriage, my wife, Ryoko, who is not blessed with children, works at a family restaurant in her spare time during the day. One morning, when she woke up, countless traces of rope were carved into her body. She was terrified because there was no way she could talk to her husband about her unfamiliar footprints. And a few days later, I hear her unbelievable words from her colleague Tomita at her part time job. Ryoko recalls a faint memory of her having a drink with Tomita the night before, when the traces of her roots were left. "Wasn't that just a dream? No way you... you tied me up..."
