Jun has never written a romance novel before and tries to decline. But Tateyama overcomes his resistance by telling him, “This is your last chance.” Jun makes no progress in his writing and continues to agonise about it even just before the deadline. Then a guy suddenly shows up. He is Murata Keisuke, a childhood friend of Jun who grew up in Nakaminato. Jun is delighted to be reunited with Keisuke after more than 10 years, but talks about struggling with ideas for his novel. Keisuke encourages Jun. From his conversation with Keisuke, Jun recalls an incident where his zealous fans had taken his own rubbish home at the time he made his debut as a writer. This provides him with inspiration and he starts to write the story ‘Intercept’.

Although he is ready to give up, Amika recalls him with a forgotten mobile phone in her hand. And then … …
