Sumiko Sumimura goes home alone, giving Yoshimori a chance to speak with Tokine. He tells her that he and his mother will be leaving in the morning, and that everything is changing. Tokine points out that everything hasn't changed and that he can always come back, but Yoshimori is unsure of this. Yoshimori says it's his job to seal Karasumori, but he isn't sure if he'll succeed even with his mother's help. Sensing the growing distance between them, Tokine begins to cry. Yoshimori immediately apologizes, but Tokine says she's okay. He tries to take back the entire conversation so he can do it over again, because he would rather see her smile. Tokine says she loves his kindness, and that won't ever change.
