"Wheel of fantasy also presents itself in the other two stories, in "Door Wide Open", sexual tension/seduction is fantasized nearly to a boiling point through Nao's intonation-like reading out loud an erotic passage of Segawa's awarding-winning new novel, and the professor's incorruptible respectability, who always leaves the door of his office wide open, prompts Nao to open up about her weakness as a young married woman who finds it hard to resist temptation. Something painfully honest and instructive crystallizes out of this unusual conversation, only to be crushed by a fateful typo, and eventually a chance meeting prompts Nao to exact her revenge to the remorseless abetter Sasaki (Kai). Mori transcendently calibrates Nao's heterogeneous phenotype evinced from interiority meanwhile Shibukawa inhabits Segawa's reserved propriety so firmly that the after-effect of their two-handler resonates with a strange mix of thrill and Weltschmerz."
