Yoko left her home in Oita, leaving her husband Katsu (Sugawara Daikichi) behind, and stayed at Katsuo's house for a while.
One morning, Katsuo used a bonito flakes grater to shave off some bonito flakes to make miso soup. Yoko tasted it and exclaimed with excitement, "It's been so long since I've had miso soup made from bonito flakes!" Katsuo then asked, as if he had just remembered, "Was that instant?" referring to the miso soup he had at his parents' house when he had recently visited home. Yoko confessed, "That was made from dashi, but I usually give instant to my dad."
"(Katsu) complains like he's all high and mighty, but he doesn't even realize (that it's instant), so I make fun of him in my heart, and that's my little revenge," Yoko revealed, laughing charmingly.
Later, Katsuo suggested, "Shall I tell Dad, maybe you should change your attitude towards Mom?" but Yoko refused, saying that nothing would change. Immediately after, Yoko, with a serious look on her face, confessed, "The truth is, I've secretly rented a room for myself." Katsuo was surprised, and Yoko replied, "In my heart. It's small, but I have a view of the ocean, so it's a game of chance for me to have the room. I can put up with it."
Comments on social media included, "It was a little bit of revenge lol," "I love his mother's little bit of revenge," "I like his mother's little bit of revenge lol," "Katsuo's mother had a secret room in her heart...it just tugs at my heartstrings," and "The part where his mother said, 'I've rented a little room in my heart. That helps me endure,' made me cry."
