Seiji is consulted by Katsusaburo for his help in determining how his fiancée, Sanae, truly feels after Katsusaburo spots the man that she used to be involved with and begins to have doubts. When speaking about this matter with Hansuke, the businessman mentions that it would be the perfect opportunity to invite the young couple, along with another troubled couple, Kounosuke and Ohana, to a tea party. While listening to the more socially savvy Hansuke recount a story about trouble romance, Seiji suddenly has an epiphany regarding the search for the incense burner, Suou.
I do owe you for going down 
the river with me that second time.
أنا مدين لك لذهابك معي على 
.القارب في النّهر للمرّة الثّانية
Ich schulde dir noch etwas
für unsere zweite Bootsfahrt.
Te lo debo por ir al río conmigo
esa segunda vez.
Te lo debo por ir al río conmigo
esa segunda vez.
Vous avez descendu
la rivière avec moi deux fois.
Sono ancora in debito con lei 
per quella seconda gita sul fiume.
Você foi ao rio comigo duas vezes,
preciso devolver o favor.
Господин Сэйдзи, как вы помните, я в долгу 
перед вами за вторую прогулку по реке.
