Baby Takeda develops a fever. The board members abandon their meeting to check on him, taking turns to hold him and sharing their regrets about not being involved in their own children's upbringing.

Amano takes Takeda to a bar in Ginza where Takeda was a regular. The bar's Mama notes how gentle Takeda has become. Later, at home, Miiko says she's no longer afraid of her dad, now that he's a baby.
