2. The Wife is Selected, So the Husband is Left to Dry at Work?
Ryota does not dare tell his wife, Sae, that a contract has passed under his nose at work. He decides to see his father in Nagano and take his daughter Moe along with him. At the invitation of his father’s mysterious young friend, Naho, Ryota enters the forest for the first time.

3. Ryota, Tell Mom the Secrets You Know of Your Father

7. Just What is a 'Hometown' to You?
As Eisuke prepares to return to Tokyo, Osamu reveals his suffering to him and asks him to “never come back”. As the whole family reunites to celebrate Eisuke’s release from hospital, Ryota learns that his father has purchased land in Nagano and fails to contain his anger.
