The narrator tells us that he's been trying to stop Hayato from falling in love with him, but he can't. He wishes he could marry someone else, live a happy life, and put his best effort into being a good husband and father. Hayato is an adult now, he says, and he wishes he and his wife happiness. The narrator says he finally gets permission to throw a baseball again. He's not as good as he used to be, he tells us, but it's a long time since he threw a ball. He says he'll stop by for a little chat with Hayato today. He wants to tell him how sorry he is for all of his troubles, and apologizes for not stopping him sooner.
