Hazuki says some horrible things to Himawari (Ikuta Erika), who has been taking care of her since she was rescued five years ago after being found wandering around late at night. "Hima-chan was the one who cared about me the most. I pushed you away from me. I'm sorry, Hima-chan. I'll be happy," she apologizes to Himawari.
Tears were shining in Himawari's eyes, and Hazuki asked, "Why is Hima-chan crying?" Himawari revealed her feelings, "I wonder why? Maybe it's because Hazuki-chan is special to me."
Hearing Himawari's words, Hazuki also sheds tears. When Himawari points out, "You're crying too," Hazuki responds with joy, "I guess I'm not alone."
Shiratori has appeared in works such as "The Ship of Theseus," the drama "Nagi no Oitoma" (broadcast on TBS in 2019), the "The Way of the Househusband" series (broadcast on Nippon TV from 2020 to 2022), the NHK Taiga drama "What Will Ieyasu Do?" (broadcast on 2023), and "The Flower I Like the Most" (broadcast on Fuji TV in 2023).
On social media, people were talking about the actress, saying things like, "I thought I'd seen the girl who plays Hazuki somewhere before, but who is it... and when I looked it up, I found out she was in The Ship of Theseus! She's grown up! She's so beautiful!", "I thought I'd seen her somewhere before, and it was her in The Ship of Theseus! I'm surprised she's grown up," "I was just rewatching The Ship of Theseus, so I feel like a parent watching Shiratori Tamaki grow up," and "It's amazing how much Shiratori Tamaki has grown in just five years since The Ship of Theseus."
Set in a seaside child consultation center, the story follows Tsubasa Natsui (played by Fukuhara) as a new child welfare officer, as he faces a variety of children and their parents and grows together with them. This will be Fukuhara's first lead role in a Getsuku drama.
