Noriko is invited by a magazine editor to try to serialize her essays. She shows Chiaki (Koizumi) a photo of a dirty "tobacco tin" as a topic for her essay.
When Sho was still a child, her husband Hiroyuki's (played by Kazuyuki Asano) father suddenly came to visit. His father-in-law was a man who thought it was impossible for a woman to smoke or drink alcohol. At that time, Noriko was hiding on the balcony and smoking a cigarette.
"(Hiroyuki's father) took out his cigarette, so I was like, 'Oh, an ashtray!' But we don't have an ashtray in our house. I was like, 'Oh no, what should I do?' Then Sho went to the balcony and brought this (the can that Noriko used as an ashtray). He said, 'Here you go.' I was like, 'Wha-aat?'" Sho was smiling at the time.
Noriko told Chiaki everything she could remember, and revealed her feelings as a mother, saying, "His face was so cute I can't forget it. That's why I can't throw it away."
On social media, the post garnered attention with comments such as, "Oh, I really love Noriko," "The episode about Sho when he was little is so cute," "As a mother who feels the same way as Noriko, I can always really empathize," "Sho is so cute," and "The story about Noriko's cigarette tin, it's those kinds of casual events that become fond, unforgettable memories."
