Now that Shinobu has became a legendary eighth-year college student, he is elated and gives a recital at a cherry blossom viewing party. Hagumi seems disheartened for some reason and Yuta notices that she isn't wearing her brooch. There has been something bothering with her since the day she went shopping with Shinobu. Eventually Hagumi grows ill and is confined to her bed. Shortly after, Shinobu departs for Los Angeles out of the blue, not knowing himself when he will return. Yuta rushes to the airport to catch Shinobu before he leaves, but the plane takes off before he arrives. Yuta calls out after the plane in the distance helplessly.
