One year later, Izumi is back in Tachikawa, having just returned from her husband's vacation. She's so happy to be back, but she's also a little worried about her new job at the spa. She tells her new boss, Shu-Sakurai, that she'd like to learn everything she can from him, but he can only ask her questions about his family name, which means he's from the same family as the guy she works for. Izumi's not so sure about that, but then she realizes that she has fallen asleep. She wakes up to find that her husband has called her a walrus again, and she can't believe that he'll call her a "wimp again" . She goes on to say that she and her husband have been together for ten years now, but that sometimes she feels like they're not getting enough out of each other.
