This human drama follows Torikai Itsuki (Kusanagi), an estate organizer who lost his wife five years ago and has a young son, as he and his colleagues at the estate organizer company "Heaven's Messenger" work with families facing various circumstances.

Makoto suspects that Itsuki is actually a dishonest contractor and that her mother, Koharu (Jun Fubuki), is being deceived. Itsuki decides to personally explain the price on the estimate.

At night in the park, Makoto confronts Itsuki, asking, "Why did (Koharu) suddenly decide to organize her affairs while she was still alive?" However, Itsuki doesn't give a satisfactory answer, so Makoto raises her voice and says, "I'm not asking about general things! I'm asking about my mother."

Furthermore, he mentioned the story of Koharu crying when they were together and said with a pale face, "What were you talking about (with your mother Koharu)? I think she called you out here because she wouldn't answer your questions!"

Makoto pressed further, "What's wrong? Tell me. Tell me!", but Itsuki, who had been told by Koharu to keep quiet about his remaining life expectancy, was unable to answer.

On social media, people were talking about Nakamura Yuri, saying things like, "She probably has confidentiality obligations and can't tell us, please understand," "Makoto obviously chose the wrong person to ask," "I understand how both the mother and daughter feel. Even between mother and daughter, they can't say anything because of personal information. It's frustrating," "Ask her mother. Stop yelling," and "I like how strong-willed Nakamura Yuri is."
