Shigeru has finally awakened from the coma he's been in since Seiko pushed him off the cliff—but he remembers nothing of the incident, nor does he even recognize his assailant. Rather than setting Seiko's mind at ease, however, this only serves to disturb her further. Meanwhile, Seiichi is determined to keep his promise to his mother—with devastating consequences for everyone around him.
