Episode Title:
Eternal Interspersions.
Episode Description:
The Miyazawa family visits Miyako's father, who does not get along with his son-in-law, Hiroyuki. When Hiroyuki and Miyako walk through the neighborhood they recall their past in an extended flashback. As a child 'Hiro' was a little terror who terrorized Miyako and the other children with his rough play but mellows as he grows older. They are shown meeting occasionally in the following years as she follows him into the same middle school and high school, two years behind. It is Hiro's fondest desire to grow up and support his beloved elderly grandfather, who raised him alone after his parents died, in the same way that he supported him. When his grandfather dies before he can graduate high school it is Miyako who consoles him and asks if she could be the one he could live for instead. They marry young, right after her graduation, infuriating her father and causing the rivalry between the two of them.
