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.
After my string of failures
these last few days,
Da ich in den wenigen
Tagen so oft scheiterte,
Después de mi serie de fracasos
estos últimos días,
Tras tantos fiascos,
Après plusieurs jours de défaite,
j’avais oublié comment sourire.
Após minha onda de erros nos últimos dias,
tinha até esquecido como sorrir.
