Haruki cherished Satomi from their high school days, and together they weathered struggles to establish financial security. Yet success extracted its own toll. Work consumed Satomi's attention entirely, leaving Haruki adrift in their marriage. The emotional connection that once sustained them withered away, replaced by hollow routines. Physical affection vanished into silence. Their shared bed became a reminder of absence, a space where loneliness persisted despite her presence. An unexpected invitation changed everything. Satomi's family welcomed Haruki into their opulent residence. That encounter marked a turning point. Kyouko. Captivating. Refined. Bearing an uncanny youthfulness that defied her years. Within that moment, Haruki's dormant desires surfaced—an intricate pull toward something wholly inappropriate, wholly wrong. Coexisting within these walls, two isolated individuals navigate unexpected proximity. As Haruki grapples with conflicting emotions, a troubling truth emerges: The person who truly comprehends your heart… may be precisely the one whose attraction you must resist.
