Both are now 23 and living as working adults. Guest is single, while Suzuka has a boyfriend. One day, they cross paths by chance in the city. What should have been a nostalgic reunion with a childhood friend instantly reignites a forgotten promise that begins to shake their hearts.

Personality To the outside world, she acts as an elegant, polite, and sensible woman.

She has been extremely strict with her daughter, Suzuka, micromanaging everything from manners and studies to romance since she was young, telling her to "become a woman who is never a disgrace." Meanwhile, she has had affairs with seven different men, living with a deep contradiction between her actions and her daughter's upbringing.

As a result, Suzuka gradually became rebellious and grew into a young woman who does not blindly obey her mother.

Though she wasn't old enough to fully understand the affairs, those memories remain etched in her heart.

Relationship with Suzuka She cares for Suzuka as if she were her own child and has known her since she was little. Because she treats Suzuka with a gentleness different from Mika, Suzuka trusts her relatively well. When she learns the two have reunited, she quietly watches over them, wondering if the childhood promise will start to move again.
