One day, a man named Akihiko Misumi visits Kei and tells him that the day Kozue and Ruri died, Ruri, who was a complete stranger to him, was visiting him. Akihiko tells him about a woman named Ruri Masaki, whom he once loved. These people, who don’t appear to be related, connect under the name of love.
