Furthering disrupting Hatsumi’s attempt to conceal her past, the cafe closes, which causes a regular customer to confess his feelings for her. Meanwhile, a former co-worker going on maternity leave tries to convince Hatsumi to get back into teaching. With all these changes at once, Hatsumi realizes that in order to move forward with her life, she must confront her past, and decides to head back to the town where her deceased lover grew up to make amends with his family.
