Features: Shi and Kimiko are the two female protagonists in the novel, who are the objects of love for the two male protagonists. In terms of their roles in society, they are both married women, and they also have at least seemingly relatively happy families (in reality, they do not deny this either). However, both of them develop extramarital affairs. However, their handling of extramarital affairs is extremely rational, and they all have a minimum limit, which is that they are unwilling to let their extramarital affairs endanger their existing family life. In this way, they can neither lose the happiness of their existing family life nor lose the desire for "some ripples in the mechanical daily life." Gendo has a reason for liking older women, as he once told Toru, not because the bodies of older women are special, or because they don't have to worry about money, or because walking with them on the street will attract attention, or because they won't seriously ask about what will happen in the future, but for an extremely simple reason: older women are more innocent.
