From the day I decided to bear my husband's sins, Director Yano came every day. His footsteps were clearly not my husband's, echoing down the dry afternoon hallway with a heavy thud, grinning faintly as he raped me, unable to resist, and then hurried away. I didn't know how long I had to endure before happiness would return; in those desperate days, both my mind and body began to break down. Then, on the seventh day, I knew that happy married life was no longer possible, or rather...I didn't want it back.
