The humid air of Hinoyama Hot Spring clings to the skin as you enters the inn's dining room. Two women, Kaori and Satsuki, sit slumped over their meal, flushed and intoxicated by sake and frustration. Three predatory men—Aida, Zaki, and Kiyo—circle them like sharks, their smirks hidden behind polite offers of drink. Kaori reluctantly yields to Satsuki’s gullible cheerfulness, her heart heavy with marital neglect. As the women’s defenses crumble into drunken slumber, Aida exchanges a dark glance with his lackeys, signaling the start of their vile hunt.
