The scene opens with a splash of water. It's the first time Hiroshi has ever been on the beach, and he's eager to see his friend, who's been digging for clams. Hiroshi asks if the girl has finished digging, and the girl replies that she has, and that she'll stop soon because she's too heavy a load to continue. The girl asks Hiroshi about his swimsuits, and Hiroshi tells her that he knows a special way to find them. First, he uses salt to find holes in the sand, and then he uses a special technique to pull the swimsuits out of the water when they're visible. He says he'll make a cold salad with the clams, then he can drink some sake and beer to make them taste good. He's hungry, but he doesn't want to take a shower. He asks if it's his first time at the beach. He admits that his family used to go to the beach when he was a kid, but they didn't pay much attention to the water. Now, his parents have rented tools for him to use, which is surprising, since his family is so big. He tells Hiroshi that his hair is getting long, and she suggests that he cut it back. He also tells her about his mom's necklace, which she gave him as a birthday present. The necklace is called a "pink tellin" because it looks like a cherry blossom, but it also looks like candy, which makes Hiroshi wonder if it has been coated with resin.
