Five years ago, a couple had just moved to a rural town in the Kanto region and, still adjusting to their new life, joined the local neighborhood association, regularly attending meetings at the community center. The husband occasionally missed meetings due to work, so his wife would attend in his place. The association used a video camera to record meeting minutes, but one day, when the husband—serving as secretary—reviewed the footage, he discovered his wife being forcibly made to drink and becoming severely intoxicated. This shocking incident would bring a drastic change to the couple’s everyday life.
