After Hatchin mentions to Michiko that she briefly saw Hiroshi in the streets, Hatchin attacks the police captain as a distraction for Michiko to take hold of a patrol car. However, Michiko and Hatchin are blocked by the police after being chased. The police captain is given his gun, but as he pulls the trigger at the two, he realizes that he was holding an unloaded gun. Ricardo arrives at the scene to investigate, but Atsuko prevents him from arresting Michiko and restraining Hatchin. Michiko and Hatchin run to the train station, where Michiko and Hiroshi finally reunite, and the three of them stay at an inn overnight. Michiko schedules a morning flight for Hatchin and Hiroshi to go back home, telling Hatchin that this is not their goodbye. Ten years later, Hatchin works at a restaurant and raises her only son. After learning on the news that Michiko was arrested, Hatchin attempts to send a letter to her, but it came back undeliverable. Hatchin later deduces that the anonymous packages she received in the mail was delivered by Michiko from different cities across the country. After a long travel, Michiko and Hatchin reunite in the middle of the road.
