◇The following contains spoilers
Toya was arrested on suspicion of assault in collusion with Ayame (Aso) and his wife Natsune (Kita Kana), but was released when Natsune withdrew her complaint.
After his release, Touya resolves to never hit Natsune again, but he is also increasingly angry at the women who betrayed him.
One day, Touya witnesses the manicurist Natsune having a friendly conversation with a customer. At that moment, Touya, with anger in his eyes, forcibly takes Natsune back to his house.
Touya tries to stay calm by trying "methods to control his emotions." However, when he finds out that Jun (Motoki Ochiai) has contacted Natsune and said that he wants to see her, he can no longer contain himself.
In the midst of all this, Touya is furious when he finds out that Yoko Mogami's husband, Okutaro Nada (Shiro Sano), has taken obscene photos of Natsune. Unable to control his emotions, he explodes in anger, saying, "Who had me arrested? Yoko Mogami? Or that lawyer? You guys must have conspired to frame me."
"When it's impossible to calmly understand the other person, leave the situation." Touya remembered how to control his emotions and tried to leave the situation, but immediately afterwards he punched Natsune with all his might.
On social media, people were talking about how "Akihisa Shiono's intense emotions were very powerful," "The expression in Toya's eyes was amazing. It was so scary," "Shiono's acting is so good... he was so demonic it was scary," "Wow, Shiono's monster-like portrayal was incredibly convincing," and "Shiono's acting was amazing. He was filled with anger but suddenly became like a child, and the extreme ups and downs were so realistic it was scary."
