With assistance from Kai, a local aspiring novelist, they hold appropriate funerals. Mitsuba then chooses to live with Soma, who shares her memory of her mother’s cooking. The story explores their shared connection through food memories, as Mitsuba has lost her own recollection of her mother, while Soma was left behind by her.
