A housewife living on the island, Misato Fukuda, encounters novelist Shoko Katsuragi at the city's closing ceremony—her sister who left the island 20 years ago and never returned after moving to Tokyo. Shoko, who has found success as a writer, reads with sadness an article filled with profound emotions towards her hometown. At the end of the closing ceremony, Misato is stopped by Shoko’s former classmate Kunihiro Miyashita, at which point Shoko also appears before Misato.
