Features: After the second failed marriage, for the sake of her child, she hastily threw herself into another marriage. It was like a domino effect—once one fell, the next followed in a domino chain. From the personal "foreign language teacher" of the general manager to a "mistress" being kept, it was just a step away. To cross that step required careful consideration. Without commitment, unable to truly love, she would forever be like a star accompanied by the moon, living in the dark, stretching out her life. Yet, she longed for the sunshine. She was the envy of her relatives, neighbors, and friends—married to a wealthy and affectionate Japanese husband, following him across the sea to a foreign land, eating sushi, living in a Western-style house, and wearing Western-style clothes. Yet, she did not feel happy. Whenever she thought about the future, her heart was filled more with worry and fear.
