◇The following contains spoilers.
Miumi meets Mochizuki (Michitaka Tsutsui) and learns her origins. She is deeply shaken when she realizes that she was taken from her parents by Hiromi . Meanwhile, Asahi ( Nao Omori ) is shocked when Mochizuki tells him that Hiromi 's daughter, Miumi, is Moeko, and rushes out of the room to see his daughter as soon as possible. Mochizuki immediately calls Hiromi and tells her that Asahi is on his way.
Meanwhile, Hiromi and Miumi run away from the apartment and head to Obasute in Nagano. Miumi is excited about the trip she was planning to take for her birthday, but the moment she leaves Hiromi's side, she feels anxious. Hiromi also understands that he only has a little time left to spend with Miumi, and that the time to atone for his sins is approaching.
Then Asahi appears and demands that Hiromi return Hiromi. Hiromi begs for time to explain to Miumi, and Asahi agrees on the condition that Miumi "make sure that she has no regrets" about Hiromi.
Returning home, Hiromi tells Miumi about the accident that killed her daughter, and that he kidnapped her in revenge. Miumi is shaken, but she tries to woo him, saying, "Even so, you saw me when I was three and thought, 'Oh, she's cute.' You wanted to raise me and live with me forever, right?" "If that's the case, I don't mind being your child. I don't care if your mother is a bad person. I want to be your child forever. So let's run away together."
However, Hiromi prioritizes her promise to Asahi and denies it, saying, "It's for revenge." When Miumi cried and said, "Mom...", Hiromi pushed her away, saying, "You're not my mom!" and left the room by herself.
On social media, many people expressed sadness over Hiromi and Miumi's separation. Comments such as, "It's painful... I can't stop crying...", "Miumi is suffering. It's too much pain", "Even if it was to push her away, I feel so sorry for Hiromi", "I'm going to cry", and "Both Hiromi's and Miumi's feelings are painful" were lined up.
