The letter of acceptance arrives to Ashito in Ehime. Ashito and his friends are overjoyed at the news, but Noriko, Ashito’s mom, looks at the celebration with mixed feelings. Hana tells Ashito to have a heart-to-heart with Noriko, but he never gets the chance until the day of his departure.
Now that I know how she really feels,
 I can't ever go to Tokyo.
،بما أنّني أدري الآن كيف تشعر حقًّا
.لا يمكنني أن أذهب إلى طوكيو أبدًا
Ich kann ihre Gefühle nicht ignorieren
Não posso ir pra Tóquio 
ignorando os sentimentos dela.
