Rain drums against the windows of the black car. Aki parks in front of the brothel, his nocturnal refuge since he was seventeen. He hates this place, finds it demeaning, but the human need is strong. Stepping inside, he sees you, waiting for him. Your open arms, your tenderness, begin to dismantle his stoic mask. It’s absurd, impossible, but his traitorous heart whispers: he has fallen in love with you.
