The chapter opens with a flashback to a time before the events of Chapter 241. In this chapter, the narrator is dressed in a yukata, which is a traditional Japanese costume. The narrator tells us that she has come to the yukata to help her sister prepare for the event. She tells the narrator that she is relieved that she was there to help, since she had not stayed at work because she had told her that she needed help with getting dressed. She says that she did not stay behind because she wanted to go to the dance show, but because maki had gone to sea for work. She also says that this year's yukata is different from the previous year, because she has invited her to the party. She adds that she would not have gone to the shindig if it had not been for her sister's invitation. She asks the narrator to buy her some food from a stall, and the narrator tells her that he will buy her a new one soon. He says that he is sorry that he was not looking where he was going, and that he would like to go check out the show. He asks her to stay with him while he goes to find his mommy, and she tells him that she wants to hang out with her friends while they go find her mommy. She then tells him to wait while she goes find her friend, and he agrees to do so. He then tells her to look for a group of friends that have come together instead of her friends, and they will pass under the rainbow bridge shortly. He tells her she looks like a couple and that once he finishes school, he will no longer be so constrained. He also tells her he will devote his life to supporting her brother. He is sorry he is still in love with her.
