Doi, who has always been devoted Tomoko, is attracted to Ikuko and frequently goes to the tobacco shop that has been placed under her management. Although he gets help from his close friend, a university professor, and a bar madam, he cannot change Ikuko’s mind. Doi gradually wins the trust of Ikuko, and the two plan a trip to Ikaho. However, it is just then that Tomoko’s condition deteriorates...
