“What I couldn’t stand was not that I couldn’t sleep with Mutsuki, but that Mutsuki was so calm and kind about everything. The feeling I had that I was embracing water came not from the loneliness of a sexless marriage, but from the complex we both had about it – the suffocating need to be sensitive to each other’s feelings the whole time.” — Emi Shimokawa
