3. Episode 7 Recap

While taking Miri back from the daycare, she is almost run over by a truck which makes Kazuki remember his traumatic past, and he remarks that he doesn’t like the rainy season.

The work of taking care of a young child on top of the housework keeps piling on Kazuki, and he starts getting more annoyed since Rei does nothing to help him. He finds a photo of him with his dead wife in a drawer and keeps it inside again.  

During dinner, the constant complaints from Rei and Miri about the food finally makes him loose his temper, and he leaves them both the next day. A panicked Rei rushes to get all of Miri’s things and get her to the daycare, only to realize it’s Sunday and, thus, a holiday. 

Kazuki complains to Kyutaro about Rei’s and Miri’s behavior at his café. Kyutaro tells him that Karin, Kazuki’s sister-in-law, visited and left all the money he had been sending her and wanted to meet her. Kyutaro advises Kazuki to talk to her, but Kazuki leaves.

Kazuki tries to enjoy his time at a casino. Because of how late it has gotten, Rei tells Miri that Kazuki might have abandoned them.

A drunk Kazuki gets beaten by some thugs and thrown near trash which is where Karin finds him. She tries to talk to him and tells him to stop avoiding her. She also tells him that it is not his fault her sister died, but Kazuki says he killed her and leaves. 

It is revealed that Yuzuko and their unborn child died during one of his assassinations, which is why the guilt still haunts him. Meanwhile, Miri develops a fever, and Rei feels helpless and afraid since he doesn’t know what to do. He rushes to Kyutaro in the rain with Miri in his arms, asking for help. 

Kazuki visits Yuzuko’s grave and recalls when he first met her. Karin finds him at one of Yuzuko’s favorite places and tells him it’s fine to move past her sister’s death as it’s been more than five years. Kazuki keeps apologizing and tells her that he is afraid of changing and forgetting how he let her die.

Karin tells him that she is going to study fashion in France. Since Yuzuko always encouraged her, she wanted to tell her that she had made it. She tells Kazuki to live his life too, to make Yuzuko happy. She reveals that Kyu has told her about Miri, and she is sure that Kazuki will make Miri happy too. 

The sun comes out, beautifully shinning on the hydrangeas, and Kazuki decides to let himself free finally. Kazuki returns home and finds Rei sleeping by Miri’s side. He notices the medicine, and smiles after realizing the situation. 

Rei and Miri makes French toast for Kazuki. He tells them that he will teach them to make an actually good toast. He gives a new umbrella to Miri to replace her broken one.

The photo of Yuzuko and Kazuki is retrieved from the drawer and now displayed on Kazuki’s computer.
