Bara no Hitomi wa Bakudan

A photographer named Jed Knox develops a one-sided affection for Sahab, a man who has vowed never to love again after his wife's death. Jed remains silent, longing for Sahab's affection and imagining possessing his soul. The narrative also includes a student who discovers their lover's room is unusually bare the morning after an event. Another story involves a man confessing his love to a friend, who is shocked and walks away. A man is frustrated with his lover for refusing intimacy and continuing to see others. Hansumi, a charismatic figure, influences those around him, but not Mitsuda. Another character, Suzuki, is unable to stop fantasizing about his friend. Isuka struggles with his emotions for his friend. The work continues several of these threads in later segments.
