While visiting a member of a bereaved family, Hanzawa remembers the first time he met Hiyakawa. It was over a decade ago and Hiyakawa had been a child then. He'd said that he'd seen many people destroyed by the power of belief and that he believed that he would one day encounter a destiny meant just for him.
When he was young, after his mother had discovered his abilities, Hiyakawa had been placed in a symbolic position within a special group called the Palm of the Hand Research Society.
I took a half-day. I'm glad 
I was able to see you.
استأذنتُ نصف يوم، يسرّني أنّني التقيتك
Ich musste nur den halben Tag lang arbeiten.
Schön, dass wir uns treffen können.
Me tomé la tarde. Me alegra verlo.
Me he tomado la tarde libre.
Me alegra verlo.
J’ai posé ma demi-journée.
Je suis contente de vous voir.
Ho preso mezza giornata libera.
Tirei meio dia de folga. 
Que bom que pude te ver.
Взяла отгул на полдня…
Хорошо, что мы смогли встретиться.
