"Yamashita-san showed me the rest of the family that I hadn't been able to see," Someda recalled, recalling how Haruo Yamashita (Lily Franky) came to the food stall with his five-year-old daughters, Kokoro Mugi and Shizuka (Sendo Atsuko).
"But I lied to the police and said that I forged Yamashita-san's letter at the instruction of Tomoya Endo (Ryo Narita)," he said, apologizing to Kokoro Mugi. He admitted that the letter was written by Haruo.
When Kokoromugi asked if someone had instructed him to do so, Someda replied, "I can't tell you. If I did, it would definitely involve others," and announced that he was closing down the food stall.
Kokoro Mugi asked Someda to go to the police again. She continued, crying, "I want to come here forever! I want to keep eating your ramen... I don't want to lose this important place anymore. So please promise me, don't go anywhere."
However, Someda later dies, and comments were made on social media such as, "Suzu-chan's acting brought me to tears," "The ending was so sad that both parent and child cried," and "It was touching to see Someda look back on the past and apologize to Kokoro Mugi."
