A couple compactly entwined, she closes her eyes in pleasure as he locks his arms together and squares his jaw in determination. Just past their heads is a sake kettle and go board with a tray of snacks and a glass goblet. In the dialogue the man says: "I can't last any longer...here I come! Do you want it'" to which she answers: "I don't know why...ah..ah..ah!"
