Sayo Shiga

Sayo always strives to be a good wife to her husband Chikara and a good mother to her stepson Kaito. In order to satisfy them both, she puts aside all her own desires and also endures the humiliations of her husband, who tends to treat her in the marriage bed more like a prostitute than a loving wife. She even knows that he no longer loves her, but she still maintains the deceptive family idyll - she doesn't have the necessary self-confidence or assertiveness to change anything about this situation, which is also shown by her renouncing Tamae, the chairman of the parents' committee, can also be buttered down. Since she has been in a secret relationship with Kaito, however, she has visibly blossomed, even if she has pangs of conscience at first.
