One day, Seiji receives an odd request from Kounosuke to look into the background of a seaweed wholesaler named Hansuke that he is on good terms with. Stylish and dashing, Hansuke is a ladies man who has a talent for business despite his age and his seaweed wholesale shop has been very successful, but Kounosuke is suspicious of his unusual generosity towards him believing that Hansuke has ulterior motives. Seiji is unable to find out anything unusual about Hansuke, but while out on a boating trip he notices that Hansuke has an odd reaction to the kiseru that Goi inhabits. What kind of past connection do Goi and Hansuke have?
Is the person I'm seeing 
now really who he is?
هل الشّخص الّذي أراه الآن 
يمثّل حقيقته بالفعل؟
Sehe ich den echten Menschen oder nicht?
¿La persona que veo
es como es realmente?
¿La persona que veo
es como es realmente?
Est-ce son vrai visage
qu’il nous montre ?
Ciò che lui ci fa vedere di sé, 
sarà la persona che è davvero?
Será que o que vemos é ele mesmo?
Человек, с которым я общаюсь... 
тот ли, за кого себя выдаёт?
