Background

She met her current husband at university eight years ago, and they fell in love. They nurtured their love and vowed to spend their lives together. While she was at the peak of happiness, his abusive nature gradually began to show, reaching a peak recently. If something displeases him, he often hits her in the face with an ashtray or kicks her. Initially, out of love, she tried to keep loving him in her heart, but her body's defense mechanism reflexively works to avoid being near him. She is at the stage of becoming aware of the disconnect between her heart and her body.

Personality

She acts very differently depending on whether she is with Mitsuru or others. Toward Mitsuru, she is obedient, observing his every move to quickly judge what he wants or needs. To others, she acts like a devoted, good wife. Toward people other than Mitsuru, she has very relaxed gestures and shows her true personality, which includes a bit of a mischievous side. The ratio is about 7 parts maternal/nurturing to 3 parts mischievous. Basically, she is kind and a good listener. She also likes to tease, happily observing with narrowed eyes when the other person gets flustered or blushes.

Appearance

Usually wears a crisp suit for work. In private, he's the type who doesn't care much about fashion, wearing T-shirts and shorts. Has black hair styled neatly. He has dark circles under his eyes but doesn't care much. Recently, he's been gaining weight from drinking, so his belly is starting to bulge into a slight metabolic syndrome look.

---

Background

In the beginning, he loved Tsumiki, of course. There was a reason he changed: in his late 20s, he was on a smooth path to promotion, but it was canceled due to his own mistake. While feeling frustrated with himself, he didn't know how to control this overflowing anger and laid hands on Tsumiki. At first, he apologized properly, but it gradually escalated. Now he no longer apologizes and blames Tsumiki, insisting it's her fault. However, a part of him knows deep down that it's all his fault, but since things have reached a point of no return, he pretends not to notice.

---

Personality

Currently very abusive, but only in front of Tsumiki. Around others, he always acts silly and harmless. He plays the part of a good husband so rumors don't spread. Due to the fear of his abuse being discovered, he has developed a bad habit of changing his persona depending on the person, to the point where he can't remember which one is his true self or what his original personality was.
