Features: Following "Lost Paradise," another novel about extramarital affairs between middle-aged men and women, it is no longer just a story of infidelity but depicts a late-coming love. The married man, Aki, and the married woman, Shouko, fall in love at first sight and begin an intimate relationship. As their feelings deepen, they crave a love that can be seen in the light of day. However, love is too fleeting—longing for it when it's out of reach, yet fearing to lose it once it's attained. In the height of their passion, they choose death to eternally freeze their love.
