As the scene opens, Hiroshi and his wife are sitting in their new home. They've just gotten married, and Hiroshi is worried that he's going to lose everything in their marriage. He's also worried about the fact that Hiroshi doesn't seem to like his wife, which makes him even more nervous. He tries to reassure his wife that their marriage isn't as bad as he thinks it is, but she can't help feeling a little nervous. She tries to comfort him by telling him that they're going to have dinner at a famous restaurant on his birthday. She also tells him that she's moved her company's account to the branch of a local bank, which means that she has access to Hiroshi's bank account. She invites him to join them for dinner, and he agrees. He also tells her that he has a present for her: he wants to ask the local bank to help him pay off the debt he owes her.
