Reiko was confused by her son's actions, saying, "I'll satisfy you instead of Dad." Her son, sensing that their married life was stagnant and she was lonely, was trying to comfort her with his body. This kind of thing is not allowed. But Reiko felt that this was her son's kindness. Should she reject him as a mother? Or should she accept him as a woman? Reiko's heart wavered, but when she felt her son's love as he wisely caressed her, she closed her eyes and weakened her power to resist.
