| Summary | Bedridden and abandoned, the gentle Kakutarō endures his wife Osei's brazen infidelity, seeking fleeting joy in his young son's company. One day, a game of hide-and-seek becomes a nightmarish trap when Kakutarō accidentally locks himself inside an antique chest. His desperate cries for help echo in the empty house, unheard until Osei's return. But when she discovers her husband's predicament, a chilling transformation occurs. Instead of rescue, a wicked impulse seizes her, and she deliberately re-secures his tomb. Now, as the air inside dwindles and terror mounts, Kakutarō faces an unspeakable betrayal at the hands of the woman he could not bring himself to leave. This heartless deceit carries a steep, unforgiving price. |
