A tycoon's heir takes his mute wife for granted until divorce papers shatter his assumptions.
Hayato stands to inherit a vast business empire, yet his emotional energy remains locked on a woman from his past. He treats Shiori, his mute wife, as an unshakable constant, reading her silence as permission to neglect her. That complacency fractures the moment she places divorce papers before him, stripping away the certainty that she would wait indefinitely. The rupture pushes him toward a recognition of the quiet devotion he mistook for consent, reframing a marriage built on assumption into a confrontation with the love he failed to see.
