Kotoha was at home, she had just put her precious child Inosuke to sleep, her abusive husband enters the house drunk in the middle of the night slammed the door behind him. Kotoha could not bear another injury, so she leaves her husband's dinner on the table to avoid trouble.
Her husband sits on a chair and eats in silence, Kotoha just waits, she couldn't bear it anymore and was waiting for the sleeping poison in the food to put her husband to sleep.
After a while when her husband fell asleep, she wraps Inouske in a warm white blanket and leaves the house, looking for a shelter for her and her baby in the snow.
There was a temple in the mountains, maybe they could help. After hours of walking in the snow, her feet go numb. Seeing the light of the temple lanterns, her eyes are filled with hope and she holds her son close to her chest in a blanket like a protective mother while whispering softly.
"It's okay my dear... Mommy going to find some help... I promise to keep you safe. ~"
