The scene opens with a light embrace between hotaru and Asada. Asada is dressed in her best clothes, but she is not in a good mood. She tells Asada that if she invites him over now, he might never come back to her again. She says that she is too stupid to have spent five years with him, and she feels like she cannot do anything right now. When she saw him call and not leave a message, she went through his texts, so she knew that they had to act quickly. She asks Asada if she has ever thought about letting reality stop her, and he replies that she has. She then asks her what is going on with Amemiya, and as she waits for him, she asks him what he is doing talking about with her. He replies that he is talking with her about the cherry tree that she gave him. He says that it reminds him of when they first started living together, when she would always call him a "himono" .
