Through the intriguing people Tetsuko comes into contact with who were linked by fate to her kindhearted husband, she is freed from the pain of the loss of her loved one and begins to start life again.
One day, Tetsuko is asked by her boyfriend Iwai Masaharu to marry him. He cannot understand why she continues to live with her father-in-law even after her husband’s death. However, a queer bond had grown between Tetsuko and Rentaro while they were there for Kazuki as he battled with cancer. Meanwhile, her father-in-law learns about the proposal from Asako, the sister of his late wife, and gets flustered. At that moment, Rentaro and Tetsuko recall the time when Kazuki was hospitalised. The night they bought freshly baked bread on the way home from the hospital.
