The ageing car salesman Kazuma meets the younger Shin- ichi one night in a coffee shop. They talk and he says that he lives in Tokyo with a young mistress, despite having a wife and house outside Tokyo. Shin-ichi in turn says that he raped his girlfriend after he found out she was having an affair with another man. The two spend the night together, riding Shin-ichi's motorbike. A fine friendship seems to blossom, but Shin-ichi gets irritated by Kazuma that same night and beats him up. After a chastening night, Kazuma returns to his house and wife. Shin-ichi goes to his girlfriend and makes it up to her. The two men never see each again.
