A flashback reveals Hiromi and Kenji met as children when he traded a lamune bottle for her blue hairpin. He drank from it first, creating an indirect kiss that Hiromi has cherished ever since. Saddened by her upcoming move, Hiromi is pleasantly surprised when Kenji and others arrive to help her pack and spend their remaining time together. During the process, her precious bottle is accidentally broken. Later, Kenji and Nanami see her off at the train station. Kenji gives her another bottle of lamune, surprising her that he remembered the significance of the item. Amazed by his gesture, Hiromi offers them some last-minute advice before departing.
