"ostensibly" fits as IMO real focus here is on the child's mother (the disappearance never goes away though, always bubbling away in background, kept 'fresh' and tantalising by a plot device that I am loath to reveal as it would be spoilerish IMO) From initial scenes I thought of mum "what a selfish, entitled so and so", but Yuki Amami acts her socks off making this character deep & complex. Many strong sex scenes but nothing is ever shown tho audio is quite explicit. Highly recommended sleeper.
