Ryohei, who has been transferred to Kagoshima, tells Reiko, "No matter how you look at it, you'll be living away from home. I'm sure you have work-related commitments too."
In response, Reiko asked Ryohei if he was okay with being separated from his children, pointing out, "They'll both grow up soon, won't they?"
After that, Reiko decides to quit her job and become a full-time housewife in order to accompany Ryohei when he is transferred. When Nakatani (Dean Fujioka) asks her why, she reveals, "I want to cherish my family now. If my family were to leave now, our feelings would also be torn apart."
On social media, comments such as, "I cried when I saw the scene where she chooses to become a full-time housewife when her husband is transferred. I'm sure all wives of families who are transferred a lot feel the same way," "There are many wives who leave their jobs because their husbands are transferred and are living away from home. Is living away from home necessary these days?", "In the end, I can't help but think that she'll have to follow her husband when he is transferred...", "Kawanishi, please change jobs...", "Quitting your job to follow a transfer is the worst", "She's going with a transfer... it's hard to keep working", and "Even though it was a drama, I truly hoped that Reiko would be happy with her decision."
