## Plot

*Taisho 11 (1922)*

Spring passes and summer (the season Tamahiko dislikes the most) arrives. Yuzuki goes to make him tea but the heat causes her to feel dizzy and nearly faint. Tamahiko asks her to rest against him. They are interrupted when his younger sister, Tamako Shima, arrives for an impromptu stay at the villa, and even insults Tamahiko as a 'dead man'. When she notices Yuzuki, Tamako assumes she is of elementary school age but Yuzuki corrects her that she is actually 14. Tamako is surprised because of how small and childlike Yuzuki is, and further insults her by revealing Tamako is actually 12.

Tamako mocks Tamahiko's status as a 'dead man' by flaunting how their siblings feigned mourning to their marriage partners. She reveals she has grown bored of the girls boarding school she attends so she left home and came to the villa. She assures Tamahiko she won't trouble him because she knows he hates her. Yuzuki takes her to a room to sleep in and Tamako requests she eat dinner alone.

Later that night, Tamako gets startled by the wind and goes to the bathroom and is shocked to see Yuzuki's unruly curly hair, which embarrasses Yuzuki. The next day, Yuzuki makes homemade milk carmel, which surprises Tamako who watches her make the candy. Yuzuki reveals she is making the sweets for Tamahiko to accommodate his reading time. Tamako asks Yuzuki why she does so much for a stranger. She says when she wants to do something for him, her body moves on it's own.

Tamahiko is impressed by the sweets but says he's never tried them before. Yuzuki puts one in his mouth, which embarrasses them both as her fingers went into his mouth. Tamako doesn't understand what's so important about all this and leaves them alone. She stays in her room as Tamahiko and Yuzuki eat dinner. A thunderstorm wakes Tamako up and she wakes Yuzuki up to find the restroom. Yuzuki starts taking her there when a thunder causes her to soil on herself. Yuzuki takes her to the washroom to clean her up. Tamako recalls the mean things her father and older sister said to her and how she feels guilty for saying mean things to Yuzuki.

The next morning, Tamako starts to praise Yuzuki for comforting her despite the mean things she said. Then, Yuzuki collapses in the floor.
