In this short scene, we are introduced to a young woman named izumi, who has just returned from a visit with her husband, Mr. Tachikawa, at his beauty parlor in Yokohama, Japan. We learn that she has undergone a series of rejuvenating treatments at the spa, and that she is very happy with the results. We are also introduced to the young woman's friend, who is also a frequent visitor to the spa. The young woman asks the man why he is there, and the man tells her that he was drinking with a friend and that he thought she liked his treatment. He then asks the woman if there was anything he could have done to improve her relationship with her new husband, and she tells him that she did not want to change her mind. She then asks him if he would like her to look after him, and he says that he would.
