After receiving a report that a child who may have been abused has been spotted near the Sonegaoka housing complex, Tsubasa Natsui (played by Fukuhara) and Sosuke Kurata (played by Hayashi Kento) head to the scene. While Himawari is also assisting with the investigation, they come across a boy named Sora Mineta (played by Matsuno Koji) being scolded by his father, Kanji (played by Hirahara Tetsu).

Himawari called Kurata to report the boy, saying, "He's wearing the same clothes as in the notice. Please come quickly!", conveying the urgency of the situation. Immediately after, Himawari called out to Kanji, "I'm from Hamase City. Can I talk to you for a moment?", but he ignored her.

"Wait!" Himawari shouted as she chased after Kanji and the others. The moment she touched Kanji's shoulder, he pushed her away, saying, "Don't touch me!", and she fell down the stairs. Himawari was left unconscious and alone, and Kurata rushed to her side.

On social media, the incident became a hot topic, with comments such as "Sunflower---", "Are you okay, Himawari-chan?", "What have you done to Himawari-chan?" and "I hope Himawari-san isn't seriously injured."

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.
