Shin put away the futon, Ei and Masaomi taught Kujima origami, and Miyoshi prepared rice balls; each member of the Kouda family made their preparations to see Kujima off. And then, the moment of farewell finally arrived. To Kujima, who had tears in his eyes, Shin said, "We're only going to be apart for six months," and "Six months will fly by."
