The pacing is deliberate, allowing the tension to build slowly, drawing you into the couple's plight. The introduction of the mysterious ring adds an intriguing layer, leading to unexpected turns that blend realism with a hint of the surreal. The countryside setting isn't just a backdrop, it feels alive, and the cinematography captures that beautifully. Goriki Ayame as Minori is equally compelling, providing a grounding presence.
