"Ms. Jones, the service to fake your death that you requested has been arranged. Here's the agreement. Please sign here." Isabella Jones glanced at the contract that the person placed before her. Client: Isabella Jones Cause of death: Falling from a mountain, eaten by wild animals. Unable to retrieve the remains of the body Time of death: One week from now One week from now would mark the fifth anniversary of her marriage to Samuel Grant. It was also the day she had planned to fake her death and leave him. Since that was the date it all began, it might as well be when it ended.

I become paralyzed after trying to save my wife. Seven years later, she holds a knife to our young son's neck and forces me to donate my kidney to her male best friend. She says I'm worthless now that I'm already paralyzed—what does it matter whether or not I have my kidneys? What she doesn't know is that I already lost a kidney many years ago when trying to save her. Now, she's taking away the only one I have left!

The laundromat I regularly visit has been showing an odd fluctuation in its price lately. "This coat isn't easy to wash. We're probably the only store that's willing to clean this at a loss. The market price is 55 dollars per item, but I'll give you a discount and only ask for 200 dollars for four items." I look at the boss' mother, who's new at the laundromat. I'm a little pissed. Still, I hand her my membership card without saying anything. This laundromat is opposite my residential area, and they had a promotion during their opening. I topped up ten thousand dollars on the card because I pitied the owner for raising a child alone. Unexpectedly, the owner's mother looks at me and says sarcastically, "That dumb membership card means nothing to me—you have to pay me in cash. You youngsters are too lazy to wash your clothes, yet you're more than willing to use your brains for nonsense like this. My son is too kind to let you take advantage of him like this." I grab my clothes and leave. It's time to use my brain for some nonsense—I think the laundromat should have a new owner.

姉の幼馴染と私は9年間の交際を続け、もうすぐ婚約する予定だった。 その日もいつも通り、彼が飲み会で飲酒した後、迎えに行くため店の前に足を運んだ。 声をかけようとしたその瞬間、不意に耳に入ったのは、彼の友人たちの悪ふざけ混じりの冷やかしだった。 「晃司、お前の初恋が帰ってきたんだろ？で、代用品はどうするんだ？捨てるのか、それとも二股かけるのか？」 藤原晃司の口元には、嘲るような笑みが浮かんでいた。 その場の空気をさらに悪化させるように、別の友人が大声で笑いながら続けた。 「晃司、本当羨ましいよな。初恋がいなくなって寂しかったからって、幼馴染の妹で暇つぶししてたんだろ？9年も付き合って、そろそろ飽きたって言ってたしな。それに、ちょうど初恋が帰国したタイミングだもんな！」 晃司は苛立ちを滲ませた声で応えた。 「だって、万田さゆりが『あんたの人生で愛するのは私だけ』なんてぬかしたんだぞ？だから安物の代用品で、あいつの自信を徹底的に叩き潰してやらなきゃ気が済まないだろ！」
