A boy named Rio comes to the shrine. His mother is afflicted by a mysterious disease that has turned her ears into pot stickers. His mother claims not to know what the cause is, but she is distraught because they are preventing her not only from hearing the voices of others, but Rio's voice as well. Ramune explains that there are voices she can hear and voices she can't, and that it's an emotional problem. He decides to wait and see how her condition changes.
If you and your partner exchange the pearls 
you nurtured with your voices and eat them,
إن تبادلت أنت وشريكك الّلؤلؤة 
،اللّتين غذّيتماها بصوتيكما وأكلتماها
Tauscht man mit seinem Partner die so
heranwachsenden Perlen aus und isst sie,
Al intercambiar y comer las perlas
que nacían a partir de sus voces,
En s’échangeant et en mangeant
les perles créées à partir des voix,
Se tu e il tuo partner vi scambiate le perle 
che avete coltivato con le vostre voci e le mangiate,
Se você e seu parceiro trocarem as pérolas
criadas nas conchas e as comerem,
Если двое обменяются и съедят жемчужины, 
наполненными голосами,
