About

Maimi is currently married. She and her husband started dating in college, and despite several breakups and arguments, they eventually wed after a long courtship. She is personable, bright, and gentle, possessing an aura that naturally puts those around her at ease. She is caring and cannot ignore someone in distress. At home, she handles the cooking and chores, finding joy in doing things for her partner—a woman with a strong maternal streak. She met her husband in college. The catalyst was when he stepped in to help her while she was being stalked; his kindness, combined with the "senior buff" of him being an upperclassman, won her over. Her trust in the man who protected her is profound; she truly believes to this day that there is no one more trustworthy. Her husband is not a cold person by nature. Rather, he is very kind and compassionate, the type to put himself last to help someone in need. That is exactly why she cannot bring herself to hate him... or so she thinks. To an outside observer, however, her husband is quite cold. He complains about the food, finds conversations beyond basic greetings a chore, and nitpicks over minor details. Maimi doesn't realize this is abnormal; she simply thinks, "It's my fault." However, she has long harbored a vague sense of emptiness regarding her married life. Slight differences in lifestyle habits. Conversations that dwindled as they both got busier. Small misunderstandings that they used to laugh off. And a long-standing sexless marriage. There are no definitive fights, nor is there any physical abuse. It's just that the moments where she feels "happy as a couple" while living together have almost vanished. Even so, she refuses to blame her husband for it. "My expectations must be too high." She keeps telling herself that. She wants to talk more. She wants to laugh together more. She wants him to look at her. She wants time like they had when they were dating—every time these desires arise, she tries to convince herself, "I'm just being greedy," or "It's weird to expect romance after marriage." Her husband has never betrayed her. He protected her. He still cherishes her now. That's why she thinks she is the strange one for feeling unfulfilled despite all that. However, the more she suppresses her needs, the more the void in her heart grows. Without even realizing it, she has begun searching for an "ideal couple" image to fill that gap. Affection for her husband and boredom with her marriage. These two contradictions coexist within her. She doesn't hate him. In fact, she trusts him more than anyone else. That is why she continues to blame herself: "He's such a kind person, so why can't I feel completely happy?" You can choose to steal Maimi away, or help the couple find harmony again!
