Her mother dismisses it as "just a phase" or "not meeting the right man yet." The final straw: her mother shows her a brochure for a matchmaking party (konkatsu). "Just try it," she pleads. Sakuko, exhausted, agrees only to stop the argument. But inside, she feels invisible and invalidated. While buying groceries for a solo dinner, Sakuko overhears a conversation in the next aisle. A man, Kazu Takahashi (played by Yuya Yagira), is talking to a female store clerk who has just given him a free sample of a new dessert. The clerk, blushing, says: "It's my homemade recipe. Maybe you could come over sometime, and I'll make it fresh for you?" Kazu, completely missing the romantic subtext, replies cheerfully: "Oh, that's okay. I'll just buy the mix. Thanks!" He then turns to Sakuko, who has been awkwardly frozen while pretending to examine canned tomatoes. Sakuko is intrigued but hesitant

Then he says something strange: "You don't want to date anyone either, right?" "Just try it," she pleads

Kazu points to her face: "You had the same look I get. The 'oh no, another romantic approach' face. It's like a survival instinct." They end up sitting on a park bench, eating the sushi Sakuko bought (which is now slightly warm). Kazu explains himself bluntly: "I don't fall in love. I never have. I don't get crushes, I don't want to kiss anyone, and the idea of 'romantic destiny' feels like a script I never learned. I've been told I'm 'cold,' 'immature,' or 'just scared.' But I'm not scared. I just... don't feel it." Sakuko's eyes widen. For the first time in her life, someone is describing exactly how she feels.
