December 16th The car suddenly popped a tire while driving along a mountain road. We went looking for someone on foot and ended up lost. There's no phone signal and it started raining on top of everything else.

Why did Madoka have to suggest we go looking for help when the tire popped... No, I shouldn't blame her...!

After a while, we found a cabin.

We decided to take shelter in there.

There was no one in the cabin...

and it was almost perfectly set up so a man and a woman could spend a night there doing anything other than sleeping.

Aromatic candles

One largeish futon

At any rate, at least Madoka won't catch a cold. For some reason, she was in a bad mood all night. I guess I can't blame her, given all that's happened.

A man and a woman both alone in a cabin deep in the mountains in just their underwear... And nothing happened and we safely made it down the mountain on December 17th.
