Hitomi Saeba's relationship with her husband has deteriorated ever since he started cheating—physical intimacy between them has nearly disappeared, and the emotional gap between them continues to widen. Though she tries to remain strong, her forced smile deeply concerned me. Hitomi is an earnest person who likely wants to honestly express her loneliness and inner turmoil, yet she's unable to voice those feelings. I sincerely hope she can finally release and let go of the true emotions buried deep within her heart.
