When Asahi (Satoshi Tsumabuki) is told by Takako (Masami Nagasawa) that a buyer has been found for the Sato family's land, he decides to sell it. His decision is vehemently resisted by Satoru (Eita) and others, but Asahi refuses to budge, saying that if he says he will sell it, he will sell it. Asahi then goes to the hospital with Azusa (Yu Aoi) and talks to Shinjo (Hidetaka Yoshioka), whom he meets there, about the land.
