Kaoru is invited to stay at the share house where Akie and her friends live. Unable to understand their intentions, she returns to the share house. While she suspects that the women may have been involved in the deaths of the house residents' husbands, she is torn between envy and the fact that, unlike herself, they have regained their vitality and are living their lives. Noriko and her friends welcome Kaoru with smiles, but... What is the ultimate choice they have made to survive, and what will be the outcome?
