Believe it or not, Yukari’s backstory turned out to be a powerful lesson for Hiromi. As I said in the last chapter, "Yukari is a woman with experience. When she reached for Hiromi’s hand, there was something powerful in that moment—her presence alone could make a grown man melt. She’s been married before, and I said her being in the share house would be an important lesson for Hiromi. She’s living proof that marriage isn’t always forever. It might start off happy and still end in heartbreak."
And I was right.
Her husband was emotionally distant, and a textbook narcissist at that. From the way she described her past relationship, it was clear she wanted intimacy, holding hands, closeness, real connection, but he kept her at arm’s length. Even how he held her hand, with no interlocking fingers, symbolized the distance between them. He didn’t care for her, demeaned her, verbally abused her, and broke her down until she started to hate herself.
That’s probably why she ended up in the share house, trying to rebuild.
But what mattered most is what Hiromi misunderstood. When Yukari opened up about her past, he assumed she never wanted to get married again—but that’s not true. She’s willing to try again, because she understands that just because it didn’t work out with one person doesn’t mean it won’t work out with someone else.
And that’s the lesson Hiromi needed to hear. It’s okay to be cautious about marriage. It’s okay to want to give your all to someone, but you also have to know who you’re giving yourself to. Yukari didn’t. She thought she did. But once she was married, the mask came off. The man was selfish. She gets sick, he still expects her to cook. She has a miscarriage, he blames her. She gains a little weight, he calls her fat. Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with her gaining a little, but that’s just me.
So I get why she changed. She found strength and peace through pole dancing, regained her confidence, and eventually had the courage to divorce him, and that’s a win.
Hiromi has to take that in. You don’t rush into a relationship just because people tell you to. You don’t race to the altar just because it’s your goal. It’s okay to move at your own pace. Hopefully, from here on out, Hiromi won’t repeat the mistakes of his past. He needs to take time for himself, get to know the next person, and only commit when he’s ready—when he’s certain it’s love, not pressure based on someone's else decision.
