In this fictional recreation of a sensational romantic scandal (surrounding writer Shimada Seijirō), Satō Haruo links conventions from mystery and detective fiction to the discourse of psychoanalysis in order to explore the hysteria of the female protagonist in The Rebirth as he attempts to answer a question on the minds of many at this time: what made her do it?
