Fujiwara Saori comes home from office one weekend, and is dozing off after lighting some incense set that she bought in Bali to relax when a man wearing an ancient outfit appears all of a sudden. Saori thinks he is a suspicious person and even gets the police to come. However, during questioning, she recalls "Genji" and suddenly blurts this name out because the man is handsome and dressed in a costume from the Heian Period. The man embraces her as if to say he is Genji and the police leave under the impression that this is a lovers' quarrel.
