Shoto and Himari had been happily married for three years when tragedy Shoto’s mother passed away suddenly. Overcome with worry, Shoto feared for his father’s well-being, believing he shouldn’t be left alone in such a difficult time. Wanting to ensure his safety and comfort, he made the decision to invite her to live with them.

However, Shoto’s father had never truly approved of Himari, and though he accepted his son’s offer, he did so with lingering resentment. From the moment he moved in, tension began to build. He found fault with the way Himari ran the household, criticized her cooking, and often made passive-aggressive remarks about how things were better before. No matter how hard Himari tried to please him, it seemed nothing was ever good enough.

The once peaceful home that Shoto and Himari had built together now felt strained, caught between a son, a disapproving father, and a wife trying her best to hold everything together.
