Keiko, who is about to reach retirement age, told Chiaki and Sachiko that she has decided to quit her job. She said that she doesn't know what to do after she quits, and revealed her current thoughts, saying, "I can't think about what to do next unless I decide to quit, so I think I'll think about what to do next after I quit."
"I don't have the same position in the company as Chiaki and Shoko. I'm not in charge of anything that I'm really putting my all into," Keiko said. "So even if I worked hard and stayed, I wouldn't have a place for myself. Objectively speaking, this isn't wrong. It's sad, but it's not wrong," she analyzed herself.
"But I don't know what will happen next year, so if I don't work I obviously won't be able to eat or survive, so I'll do something. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, let's stay friends," Keiko said, shedding big tears.
Chiaki and Shoko responded strongly, "What are you talking about? It's obvious!"
This scene garnered attention on social media, with comments such as, "Keiko's words to Chiaki and Shoko, 'Let's stay friends,' were so sweet it pierced my heart," "I watched it again and cried again. Keiko's words, 'Let's stay friends,' hit me so hard," "I cried at Hiroko Moriguchi's part," "Let's stay friends... that's the best," and "Keiko's words are amazing. It must take courage to say, 'Let's stay friends,'"
