Summary	Shun Honjō, an ambitious salaryman, believes he's found solace from his mundane life in a passionate affair with a young colleague, Momoko. But his wife, Yasuko, possesses an unnerving "seventh sense," an intuition so profound it seems to pierce through every secret, every clandestine meeting. What begins as a desperate search for freedom from his suffocating marriage quickly transforms into a chilling psychological battle. Yasuko's omnipresent gaze strips Honjō of all privacy, her possessive love blurring the lines between devotion and obsession, driving him to the brink of madness. As Momoko recoils from this invisible surveillance, Honjō becomes desperate for liberation from his wife's inescapable grasp. But how can one escape a love that penetrates the very depths of one's soul, an affection that promises to follow him beyond the grave?
