Since Sana had nowhere to go, Zoroku decided to let her stay in his own home for the time being. After he finds out that the previous day's incident isn't being covered by any media, he makes a call to an old friend. Meanwhile, Sana awakens to find Zoroku's granddaughter, Sanae, watching over her. Sanae says her grandpa asked her to keep an eye on Sana while he went to work. Sana was untrusting at first, but they eventually warm up to each other. Then Sana recalls her time spent at the research facility...

The seasons have quickly turned to winter. The matter of the research facility has been resolved, and life is normal again in Zoroku's household. Sana seems to have fully adjusted to being a member of the Kashimura family, as well. After seeing Sanae off on her way to school, she heads for the flower shop with Zoroku, where she sometimes helps with his work. She still has some trouble with stamina, but she has adapted well to the outside world. Then, one day, Sana goes out with Zoroku to get her overgrown hair cut...

Zoroku is making a trip to Yokohama to meet a client, so he takes Sana with him. Accompanied by Ichijo, Sana is impressed by the sight of the ocean and the robot-operated factory that she visits, and enjoys her day out to the fullest. Rejoined by Zoroku, the trio visits Chinatown, but then Asahi and Yonaga suddenly appear after being unseen ever since the research facility incident was resolved. The twins run away as Sana and Ichijo chase after them...
