To You, Until I Burn

The “top 1%” fortress in Japan, “The City Tower Kurosaka”—a place with a variety of luxury facilities and top-tier, hotel-like services, supported by a 24/7 on-site concierge system. That’s where Hina arrives, having married and moved in with nothing but herself. Her husband demands three conditions: Never leave the house without him. Share her entire internet usage history, including her phone activity. Since she came as a bride with “nothing but her body,” she must not refuse him. It was a life as if she were trapped inside a birdcage. Even as she wished to end it all, for her family’s sake she could do nothing but despair, hollow and empty. “Lately I think I’ve put on a little weight… would it be okay if I at least used the gym?” With his permission, Hina is able to go out alone for the first time in six years. And so, little by little, her time begins to move again.
