Meanwhile, Mitsuyo (Eri Fukatsu) also lives a monotonous life pacing between the men s clothing store where she works and the apartment where she lives with her sister. When the two lonely souls meet using an online dating site, they immediately fall in love with each other. But there s a secret Yuichi had been keeping from Mitsuyo: Yuichi is the one suspected of killing the woman whose body was found at Mitsue Pass only a few days before... As Yuichi and his new lover try to elude the police, the events that led up to the murder and its aftermath are revealed.
