My wife Ryoko and I ended up going on a company trip for two nights and three days. It was supposed to be a couples' event, but it turned out that only we were the couple participating; the others were just two supervisors and the president. Feeling uneasy, I headed to the inn, where I was pressured into drinking more than usual and ended up passing out drunk. When I came to, Ryoko seemed to have gotten quite close with the president and his crew, which put me somewhat at ease, but I still felt a strange sense of foreboding.
