Her remarriage turned out to be a nightmare—her new husband was an abusive man who gave her no money. Her son, Kosuke, confided in Sugaura, whom he looked up to like a father. When Sugaura arrived, he mistakenly believed both mother and son were involved with someone else, and in a fit of rage, violently assaulted Kaoari. Amid this turmoil, Kosuke comforted Kaoari with gentle affection. In response to his warm love, Kaoari offered her body to Kosuke.
