Koguma visits Reiko at her home, and the two have dinner together. Reiko recounts the story of how she took a job at the Mountain Hut Kikuya over the summer as a means to pursue her own dream, something which proved to be more difficult than expected.
--This is crazy! I want to stop!

¡Quiero subir! ¡Quiero llegar más alto!
