Jabami ◯ko Defeat

Yumeko Jabami confronts a nightmarish medical ordeal as attendants tag, restrain, and examine her exposed, wounded body, her strained smile barely holding back fear and pain. A “Rest Daruma” label, tears, blood, puncture wounds, and harsh black-and-white shadows give each encounter a brutal, dehumanizing rhythm, while repeated pregnancies drive the ordeal toward childbirth. The central tension is a desperate struggle for agency: how much of Yumeko can survive when every choice is taken from her.
