Minami says that she loves sumire more than anyone else, but she's not going to let her love for him get in the way of his love for her. She tells him that he's going to be his partner, and she'll make sure that his dream comes true. She's sorry that it took her so long to tell him this, but it's because she wants him to be the one to make his dream come true, no matter what. Minami tells sumire that she put an ad in the paper for a new partner and is meeting her new one today. She asks him if he wants to dance a waltz with her, and he says yes. He tells her that he wants her to dance with him, too, because he thinks that dancing with someone who's been dancing for a long time is just as easy as dancing with a mouse. He says that sumire and he aren't "destined partners," meaning that they've been dancing together for so long that they haven't been able to break it off yet.
