In this short scene, the audience is introduced to Adachi, who is introduced as the "step-step" of the story. He is the one who greets Sora at the beginning of the chapter, and he is also introduced to the other characters in the story, such as Sora's mother, his father, and his sister. The audience learns that the reason for the step-step greeting was to protect Sora from harm, and that Adachi's purpose in greeting Sora was "to protect taiyo." The audience is shocked to learn that this is the first time Adachi has ever met Sora, and it is clear that he has not been well received by the others.
