In the process, she meets the mysterious Mr Nishino who attempts to shield himself and his family from everyone else. One day Nishino’s daughter Mio appears at the door and confronts Takakura with a shocking claim. Past and present suddenly become entangled and unravelling them becomes a life-threatening task for Takakura which is full of surprising twists and turns.
