Kunisada spotted with a young girl

Akiko is stunned to find Kunisada in a car watching a young girl by the roadside. The moment quickly signals danger and guilt about Kunisada's behavior, prompting Akiko to involve the police. The scene establishes a tense, coercive dynamic that threads through the story.

Police involvement and Kunisada's past

Akiko hands the girl over to the authorities, and police later ask for information about Kunisada. It is revealed that he vanished three years earlier after a sexual crime involving a high school girl. The revelation deepens the sense of danger surrounding him.

Abduction from the grave

Kunisada follows Akiko to her mother's grave, abducts her, and drives her to an isolated cabin in the countryside. The kidnapping marks a shift from threat to captivity and control. Akiko realizes she is trapped with limited chances of escape.

Days of degradation in isolation

In the cabin, Kunisada subjects Akiko to repeated humiliations and punishments for days on end. The isolation amplifies his power over her and erodes her resistance. The dynamic centers on coercion, fear, and the erosion of consent.

Escape attempt and assault in the woods

Kunisada leaves to fetch Akiko's wedding dress, and she escapes into the woods wearing only a sheet. Two hunters encounter and assault her, escalating the trauma she endures. Kunisada later finds her, cleans her up, and resumes his control.

Resumption of control in the cabin

Kunisada returns with Akiko to the cabin and continues to exercise control, subjecting her to further humiliations. He dresses her in traditional wedding clothes, reinforcing the twisted power dynamic. Akiko's stance shifts as fear and dependency grow.

Encounter with Kaoru and Kiyoshi

While fishing, Kunisada encounters Kaoru and Kiyoshi, a young couple who survived a failed double suicide. He drags them to the cabin and begins to subject them to his manipulative regime. The couple's presence heightens the danger surrounding Kunisada.

Forced acts and coercion among the four

Kunisada subjects Kaoru and Kiyoshi to a series of humiliations, including an enema for Kaoru and forcing Akiko to participate in acts with Kiyoshi while Kunisada has sex with Kaoru. The brutal cycle tests boundaries and demonstrates his total control.

The couple's bond collapses

Despite the abuse, Kaoru and Kiyoshi's relationship deteriorates, and Akiko appears to surrender to the torment, urging Kunisada to intensify it. After a session in the woods, the couple binds themselves and dies by strangulation in a double suicide.

Detectives close in; Akiko's defiance

Two police detectives tracking Miko reach the cabin as the tragedy unfolds. They attempt to release Akiko, but she resists, hinting that Kunisada might fear her now. The scene highlights Akiko's altered power within their twisted dynamic.

Miko disappears; discovery of the carnage
