She receives the news about her sister's funeral and barely manages to deliver a eulogy. Her relatives question Eriko's pretended life as a successful actress. On a whim, Eriko declares that she will take care of Kazuma, her sister's 10-year old son while finding out that her sister used to work as a mourner-for-hire at funerals.
