Kippei and Kokoro collect Yuzu from school and visit a park. During this outing, Kokoro informs Yuzu that she does not like Kippei. Consequently, Yuzu believes she must reduce her dependence on Kippei to allow him to spend time with Kokoro. The following day, Yuzu decides to walk home from school alone to demonstrate this independence. This narrative focuses on Yuzu's reaction to Kokoro's statement and her subsequent attempt to alter her daily routine to accommodate the perceived relationship dynamics between the adults.
