Seiji is consulted by Katsusaburo for his help in determining how his fiancée, Sanae, truly feels after Katsusaburo spots the man that she used to be involved with and begins to have doubts. When speaking about this matter with Hansuke, the businessman mentions that it would be the perfect opportunity to invite the young couple, along with another troubled couple, Kounosuke and Ohana, to a tea party. While listening to the more socially savvy Hansuke recount a story about trouble romance, Seiji suddenly has an epiphany regarding the search for the incense burner, Suou.
When people are upset, they tend 
to run first to protect themselves.
عندما ينزعج النّاس، يميلون إلى الهرب 
.أوّلاً لحماية أنفسهم
Sobald die Menschen in Aufruhr geraten,
denken sie zuerst nur an sich.
Cuando la gente se enoja,
lo primero que hace es protegerse.
Cuando la gente se enfada,
lo primero que hace es protegerse.
Quand on est décontenancé,
on est obnubilé par son intérêt.
Le persone tendono a mettersi
 sulla difensiva quando si arrabbiano.
Quando as pessoas estão em apuros,
pensam em se proteger primeiro.
Когда люди в печали,
они стараются защитить себя.
