The formal procedures for placing Karen in foster care will be carried out if there are no problems with the overnight stay with the couple, Hashimoto Tomo (Morita Kanro) and Chika (Asaka Manato).

However, during the overnight stay, Karen suddenly said she wanted to go home and returned to Kurata and the others. Feeling responsible, the Hashimotos apologized and asked them to cancel their foster parent registration, and the plan to place Karen in foster care was dropped.

Afterwards, Kurata tried to listen to her story, but Karen said, "Clutter (Kurata) wouldn't understand!" Kurata then began to talk about his own experience, saying, "Clutter was also adopted by a foster family when he was about the same age as Karen."

Karen was surprised by the unexpected confession and exclaimed, "Huh?" Kurata calmly replied, "After my mother went to heaven, I couldn't find anyone to look after me, and I didn't do well at temporary shelters or orphanages. I was sent to all sorts of places, like they were pushing me off onto each other. That's where I met the people who became my foster parents."

Kurata revealed how he felt at the time, saying, "At first I really didn't want to do it, but I had nowhere else to go, so I just gave up." Karen, who was listening to him, was shown telling Kurata how she really felt, saying, "You really want to go back to your mother, but you're not well, so you can't go back, right?"

On social media, comments such as "Kurata's charm increases with each episode," "Kurata is so cute when he calls himself Clutter," "Kurata speaks in an endlessly gentle tone (tears). It's so cute that he calls himself Clutter," "I cried when I saw Kurata talking about his experiences in a gentle voice and supporting Karen-chan," and "I loved every moment of the way he faced Karen-chan with a gentle gaze, and how he sang with all his might, it filled my heart." attracted attention.

The drama is set in a seaside child consultation center and depicts Natsui Tsubasa as a new child welfare officer, dealing with various children and parents and growing together. This will be Fukuhara's first lead role in a " Getsuku" drama.
