EYAN-228

Married for four years, Honoka Asaha, 29, was once defined by her earnestness. However, her husband's resignation marked the beginning of her gradual unraveling. To support herself, she took a job in a company that handles resignations. Daily exposure to others' despair and true feelings began to elicit a strange reaction in her mind and body. She developed an unusual constitution where apologies intensified her arousal, and being cornered transformed into pleasure—a sensation no one could understand. Her descent is particularly vivid because of her previously serious and pure demeanor. This 'apologetic wife' trembles with her slender body as she is consumed by shame and immorality. This is Honoka Asaha's debut work, awaiting her beyond her shattered everyday life.
