Despite confessing his feelings for Oko, Sataro left Edo due to unavoidable circumstances with a promise to return, but now Seiji has received word that Sataro has indeed been true to his word and returned to the city. However, Sataro has yet to come and see Oko, which leads to some suspicion that he might be missing or met with some unfortunate accident. For Oko's sake, and pushing his own feelings aside, Seiji looks for Sataro, but he is completely blindsided when confronted by Oko's true feelings.
We all thought that the young 
mistress might break down again.
.ظننّا جميعًا أنّ السّيّدة الصّغيرة قد تنهار ثانية
Wir fürchteten schon, das junge Fräulein
würde wieder zusammenbrechen.
Todos pensamos que la señorita
volvería a hundirse.
Todos pensamos que la señorita
volvería a hundirse.
On craint que Mlle Okano
en soit très affectée.
Temevamo tutti che la signorina 
potesse avere un nuovo crollo.
Todos pensamos que a senhorita
iria se descontrolar de novo.
Мы все боимся, что госпожа не выдержит.
