She envies the lives of Reiko Shiba and Mayumi Ogouchi, who come to visit her. Reiko is the young wife of Naokichi Shiba, an architectural tycoon, who has no trouble making ends meet, but she is dissatisfied with her husband, a 50-year-old man who considers her nothing more than an unpaid secretary and prostitute. Mayumi has been working as a construction broker with two children since her husband's death, but she feels some kind of hunger in her soul these days. One day at a tea party at the Shirahito residence in Osaka, Reiko feels her heart palpitate with excitement when she meets a young gentleman named Retsu Tachibana, but when Tachibana confides his feelings for her, she treats him coolly as a chaste wife.
