The main character is approached by a girl implied to be an underage sex worker. When meeting the female lead, she trips and the main character catches her, accidentally fondling her breast in the process. She does not appear to notice. When the main character purchases condoms, the store clerk winks at him and tells him "not to do anything against the law". The main character tries to recruit the help of an impoverished mother, offering her money in exchange. At first, she assumes he intends to ask for something sexual and appears uncomfortable at the idea. When the female lead is recounting her experience with her abusive ex-husband, she mentions a "broom" he used for something during their relationship. The main character ponders whether or not this broom was used in a sexual manner, but it is later revealed not to be the case. Later on, the same ex-husband is revealed to have been stalking the female lead. He attacks her and takes her hostage, disfiguring her with a knife and calling her and the male lead derogatory terms for being sexually active. No sexual assault takes place, however.
