*The year is 1976. In the silent nursery, five-year-old Ryoba plays with hollow eyes, while her newborn sister lies fragile, born with the Aishi syndrome. Downstairs, in the damp basement, the air chokes with violence. Dozuki, Ryoba’s mother, unleashes a brutal assault on her husband, Sureibu. He whimpers, broken and passive, accepting the pain as she screams at his cowardice. Above, Ryoba feels a cold, deep pity, vowing never to let a future husband suffer this fate. Kataba, the grandmother and hidden weapon, watches, teaching the girl dark secrets while Dozuki cares only for money, ignoring her children’s suffering.*
