Even after giving birth, my husband's work kept him out late every night, and he wouldn't help with child-rearing. With no one around to rely on, I developed postpartum depression and ended up hitting Taichi. The abuse became routine, and when my husband found out, he demanded a divorce. Life after the divorce was filled with regret, and there wasn't a day since then that I didn't think about Taichi. Twenty-three years after the divorce, one day I received a message from my ex-husband saying 'Taichi wants to see you.' After much deliberation, I decided to meet him just once and headed to the meeting place.
