◇The following contains spoilers
Noriko tried again to pose for a magazine photo shoot, but she felt depressed.
That night, Noriko confesses to Chiaki (Koizumi) how guilty she feels for having pretended to be someone else for the shoot, saying, "I thought there was nothing about the real me. I just felt depressed." Chiaki encourages her, saying, "I like the real Noriko Mizutani. She's cute and playful," but Noriko's expression does not brighten.
Later, when a worried Chiaki sent her a message asking, "Are you OK?" and "How are you?", Noriko replied cheerfully, "I'm fine!" She tried to tidy up her messy house, but no matter how much she tidied up, it still didn't become clean at all.
Suddenly, Noriko notices the empty living room table. She remembers the days she spent with her husband Hiroyuki (Asano Kazuyuki), who is away on a "wandering journey," and her son, who has now become independent. Noriko begins to shed tears alone.
On social media, comments such as "Noriko must be lonely. Her husband never comes home and her son lives far away and doesn't contact her...", "I don't care about her husband, but her son should come home to see her sometimes. I'm worried about Noriko", "Noriko looks lonely and sad", "It's upsetting when Noriko isn't feeling well. I hope she gets better, I'm worried", and "I can really relate to Noriko's pain" were posted, attracting attention.
