However, Souko herself has a lover, a younger man named Naoya. Although she should be happy, her heart just isn't satisfied.

Even more surprising, the woman is arm-in-arm with Sasaki's former lover, Kawami Shunichi! Unbelievably, the two women have the same birthday, the same upbringing; the only thing that differs is who their husband is! When Sasaki was worrying about who to marry, Yuusuke or Shunichi, "Kawami Souko" split from her, creating an alternate version of herself.
