The episode opens with the protagonist Kanno Minori coughing violently due to her serious illness. However, her husband Saijo Riku shows no sympathy, instead believing she is faking it for attention, and roughly pushes her off the bed. Riku makes it clear that he wouldn't pay attention to Minori if it weren't for his mistress Sanada Mei. Subsequently, Minori coughs up blood in the bathroom, confirming the severity of her condition. Two weeks later, a weakened Minori calls Riku for comfort, but Riku, who is in bed with his mistress Mei at the time, responds with extremely mocking and humiliating words, calling her a "dirty woman," plunging Minori into fear and despair.
