Summary
“She’s been vindicated that her son is a failure. The promise I made to her to get better, all the effort she took to give her dream away so I could have it, the faith she put in me—I just—it’s gone. All of it’s gone, the Tojo is gone. I didn’t even say goodbye to her. Not even a phone call. I…” Daigo’s voice croaked as the car idled. “I don’t remember… the last thing I said to her.”
After Kiryu’s visit in Infinite Wealth, death weighs heavily on Daigo’s mind. Before Daigo returns to his responsibilities, he makes a detour to visit Yayoi who now lives in the remote countryside.

Hurriedly, he blinked and only saw a blurry smear of brown. Daigo turned to her approach, mouth open to dissuade her or apologize to her but a squeaked, “Ah…” came out instead when he felt her hands on his shoulders. He blinked again, but she was already sitting down, the pine green of her kimono filling his sight. Her hands moved down his back and arms followed through to wrap his body. Gingerly, she pressed her chest into his.
Deeper than any instinct in his body, he automatically released his chest with a deep shuttering sigh and curled his arms around her back and waist. Tears made wet streaks across his red skin and kept his sight blurred no matter how much he blinked. Daigo buried his face in her shoulder and felt the coolness of her cheek against his.
