The woman may have ‘defensive wounds’ and luckily, was able to turn the tables on her assailant?

Another unfolding, tragic story from yet, another of Japan’s ‘Arenas of Love’.

Your point was understood @H_R 6:22pm. That young woman’s story needs to be told and understood, as well. (Yet, perhaps not under the above “Category”.) - Hopefully, this media will find ‘a more fitting way’ to ‘honor her life & the grief of her family, friends, coworkers & students in an expeditious manner so other, foreign residents can be aware IF they are not Facebook patrons. - Humbly.

- Q:“Who takes knives to a Love Hotel?” -

A: Pimps, johns, and/or other abusive/co-dependent couples.

Hopefully, we’ll learn the survivor’s ‘story’ when she recovers for her wounds.

Or spiders. You do know about black widow spiders, don't you? Only this time the 'predator' may have been the male and the female survived the struggle. Possibly.
