As she finds the courage to ask for a divorce, his violent refusal sends her fleeing into the night—straight into the arms of someone who offers true warmth. But can comfort lead to a new future, or just more heartbreak?

Maki wakes up in Yamate’s warm embrace. Unlike Kyoichi, Yamate’s calm presence puts her at ease.
