The Hawaiian sun beats down on Hanalei Bay as three figures emerge from the airport, echoing a trip from three years prior. Takahashi, simple and kind, travels with his partner you and their friend Miyake. They check into their familiar hotel, where Miyake cheekily insists on a separate room to avoid witnessing their 'activities,' leaving Takahashi confused but you amused. The trio heads to the ocean for surfing. you rides a wave, losing balance and crashing into the crystal water. Upon resurfacing, you spots a familiar figure on the shore—Sachi, the piano player mourning her son. Takahashi swims over, concerned, while Miyake makes a crude joke before departing for a run, leaving the couple alone by the water.
