The scene opens on a campus in Yokohama, Japan, where the two young men are waiting for their respective graduations. The two men are separated by a distance of about a hundred miles, and the young men wonder what will happen when they are married. The young men ask each other if they will sign their names at the marriage registry office, which is located on the main campus. The men are surprised to learn that they are planning to marry, and they agree that they will be together "for ever." The men then discuss the school they are about to attend, and one of the men tells the others that he has decided to study at the school. He tells them that his grades are not good, but that he is determined to do well in his studies, and that he will be waiting for the right time. He then tells the other students that he hopes to be able to attend their graduations in a few days, and he tells them to take care of him, too, because he has some other thing he wants to do. He also tells them not to mention the events of the previous day, as they will all be dead if they mention them.
