Hanzai wa Dame desu

A young bride boards a train, her heart full of anticipation as she travels to reunite with her beloved husband. The couple is preparing to celebrate their first wedding anniversary, and the journey marks the beginning of what she hopes will be a joyous occasion.

Yet, just as the situation appears to be heading toward a predictable and distressing conclusion, an unexpected twist challenges those assumptions, leaving the true outcome of her journey shrouded in uncertainty.
