Yuno gasai, who committed multiple murder cases, was finally escorted to court for trial. Although the nature of the crimes was serious, because she was a minor, the court decided to impose a relatively "gentle" punishment known as the itching penalty. Initially, the prison guard confined Yuno in a stuffy small room and prohibited her from taking off her shoes for three days. The dampness inside the shoes made her feet itch incessantly, but because her hands and feet were restrained, she couldn't do anything to alleviate it. In the courtroom, Yuno was stripped of her shoes and socks, exposing her bare feet to the judge and jury. The odor from her unwashed feet for days caused everyone in the room to frown. The air conditioning in the courtroom blew over the sweat beads on Yuno's feet, giving her temporary relief, causing her toes to squirm involuntarily.
