Reitarou Shinotani’s family life has taken a strange and painful turn. His wife established a strict household rule: “No one is allowed to speak to Dad.” When questioned about this unusual arrangement, she dismisses concerns by asking, “Isn’t this just another form of domestic abuse? Were you trying to signal for help?” For years, Shinotani has endured complete isolation from his wife and daughter, confined to a tiny, dimly lit room where his existence has been reduced to mere survival—sleeping and eating in solitude. Now, as he struggles to reconnect with his family and restore their broken bonds, one can’t help but wonder what lies ahead for this fractured household. Will he succeed in mending what’s been lost, or is the damage too deep to repair? The emotional distance grows wider each day, leaving him to question whether reconciliation is even possible. His quiet suffering goes unnoticed, his voice silenced by the very people who should cherish him most. In this unsettling dynamic, the lines between neglect and outright rejection blur. Yet, despite the crushing loneliness, Shinotani refuses to give up on rebuilding the warmth that once defined their home. The question remains—can love truly be revived after such prolonged estrangement? Only time will reveal whether his efforts to heal their fractured relationships will bear fruit or if the divide has become permanent.
