Yuzuki receives a letter from her old friend and classmate, Midori, announcing that she is pregnant and getting married. Since they may not get a chance to meet again, Midori ask Yuzuki to pay her a visit. Yuzuki finally decides to go to Tokyo to meet Midori, tasking Ryo with looking after Tamahiko.

Tamahiko, worried about Yuzuki, decides to go to Tokyo. Ryo accompanies him, as she is also worried about her brother Ryotaro. The road is long since they cannot use the train. As they approach Tokyo, the effects of the earthquake become more apparent. In Tokyo, they met Tamako, who is helping the people affected by the earthquake.
