The young man's father is a disabled veteran injured in the war, and his stepmother used to be a bar girl. this family is the epitome of Japanese postwar society. At the crime scene, the father worked out a plan, stood in the distance and watched, while the mother and the teenager wandered the streets, looking for targets. First, the mother made an example for her son, while the father encouraged his son to take up "work." The father still retains the militaristic father, constantly squeezing the money earned by the teenagers and stepmothers through blood and sweat; although the docile stepmother protects the teenagers, she is still unable to resist the idea of his father and blackmail to make a living; the precocious son understands the family situation and his own responsibilities and tries his best to do his "work" well.
