Summary
This story begins with a question about the possibility of friendship between men and women, namely, female friends and male friends. There is often controversy in society about how far the scope of female and male friends can be recognized. Some argue that friendship can be established beyond gender, saying, “You can even take a bath together,” while others say, “It’s okay to have a drink or a meal together,” and think that we should be cautious about intimacy beyond that. However, can friendship between men and women really be maintained in such extreme circumstances? An experiment to solve this question begins in the shadows.
