One evening, Chihaya is in the kitchen of Isuzu Inn doing the dishes. It is like any other day. Then Aunt Kasumi comes in hurriedly, her eyes lively with excitement.She tells Chihaya that she has a phone call..

「千早ちゃん、電話だよ。お父さんから」
　「えっ、父･･･ですか」
　当惑が声に現れた。父さんと母さんからの連絡を待っていたのは事実だけれど、どうして今になって急に電話を掛けてくるのだろう。
　まさか。
　「さ、早く。帳場の方のだよ」
　小母さんに促されて、千早は、濡れた両手をエプロンで拭きながら帳場に急いだ。

"It's your Dad, Chihaya."
"Oh." Chihaya was surprised, and then anxious. True, a call from Mom or Dad was what she was waiting for, but why now?
"The phone's on the counter. You better hurry."
"I'll be right away." Chihaya wiped her hands on her apron and went out of the kitchen, still wondering.
