It's been a long time since he's gone to the mountains, and now he needs help finding a herb. He's going to call on his friend, who lives in the mountains. The two of them are friends, so they don't have to say anything about it, but they do have to explain why they're hanging out so close to each other. The baby's mother is at home during her "postpartum period" , and the baby has no mother at all. The child's father is a man, and he and his wife adopted the baby because they've fallen in love with each other, but the baby is still too young and pitiful to have a mother.
