Muhyo, Roji, and Nana visit a rustic hot spring resort to meet a client. They bathe in the hot springs while waiting for him... and then Roji catches a middle-aged man peeping into the women's bath at Nana. The man turns out to be their client and the author of a current best-selling novel series, "The Butterfly of the Night," Yontani Abeyuki.
Time flowed on around me...
...توالت العصور عليّ
Während ich vergeblich wartete,
wandelten sich die Zeiten.
El tiempo pasaba a mi alrededor.
El tiempo pasaba a mi alrededor.
Les années passèrent
dans cette attente…
Il tempo continuava a scorrere intorno a me...
O tempo passou à minha volta.
Время текло мимо меня...
