One morning, while Tenko (Satomi Kobayashi) is tending to her garden, a strangely well-dressed man named Tsuneki (Koji Yakusho) suddenly appears from the bushes. He says he is looking for a place to stay for the night, and Tenko is puzzled, but decides to let him stay at the pension. Tenko, however, gradually begins to forgive Tsuneki, who is friendly and knows a lot about mountains, forests, and nature.

Tenko is looking for something in the morning. When she steps out onto her front porch, she sees a strange young man on a bicycle riding up and down the street in front of her, looking back and forth as if he were watching her. When Tenko approaches him, he asks for a glass of water. She invites him in and offers him a glass of water, which he drinks without even taking a breath and suddenly begins to cry. The man, Souma (Kentaro Ito), is a student and says he is cycling around Japan. He had lost his mobile phone and was lost on the road.
