In this short scene, we learn that Hiromi and Mishima are planning to go on a date. Hiromi's mother, Chieko, is worried about her daughter's moodiness. She's also worried about the fact that Mishima's father, Tamura, will be there to chaperone the party. The two women discuss the possibility of postponing the party, but they decide to go ahead anyway. They're also concerned about the dress Hiromi is wearing, which they think is a ladies' jacket. They decide to take the girl to the parlor to get a cold compress on her.
