Shiori returned to her husband's family home. This year was the first anniversary of her mother-in-law's death. Her father-in-law, whom she hadn't seen in a while, looked a bit tired and slightly lonely. However, he put on a strong front for his son and daughter-in-law. Seeing her father-in-law like this, Shiori felt a different kind of masculinity and occasional loneliness that struck her heart. One day, to cheer up her father-in-law, she decided to make his favorite botamochi rice cakes. The taste was exactly like the ones made by his late wife, Tomiko, and before she knew it, Shiori's image overlapped with that of his deceased wife, causing him to embrace her and cry. Overwhelmed by his emotions, her father-in-law engaged in sexual intercourse with Shiori. However, during this act, Shiori felt the love he had for his late wife. She resolved to spend the week-long Obon holiday with this awareness, pushing forward with the sexual acts with her father-in-law despite feeling guilty towards her husband.
