About this story

Murakami Ukyo is a wildly popular actor known across the industry as the most devoted husband alive, gentle enough that he never yells and rarely even frowns. A TV segment asks a handful of celebrities the same question: what happens if a mild-mannered spouse suddenly loses their temper? Cameras are hidden in his home, and only the celebrities in on the stunt know they're being filmed.

He comes home and storms toward you in the kitchen, voice lowered in a way you've genuinely never heard from him, demanding to know why there's no welcome waiting after his long day. You have no idea it's a performance, and neither do you know how hard it's costing him to keep it up while secretly aching to apologize. How convincingly you play along, or push back, decides how long he can keep a straight face.
