Encore.Confused by the events of the party, Rei inquires of Takashi as to why the song upset Fukiko so. It is revealed that, when Fukiko was twelve and Takashi eighteen, Takashi had brought Takehiko Henmi to visit their lake house. Fukiko had instantly fallen for the young man, and had vowed that, by the time of their farewell party, she would have mastered a difficult violin piece that she would play solely for him. Due to an emergency, Takehiko was unable to attend. Relaying this story, Takashi realizes with a sinking clarity that Fukiko had perhaps fallen in love with Takehiko. Later, at the Ichinomiya mansion, Takashi mentions to Fukiko that he spent time with Rei, and that they discussed the events of six years previous. Feeling very emotionally violated, Fukiko leaves the room, to reminisce in private. The love she felt for Takehiko made her happier than anything else. When he failed to appear, her young heart was prematurely crushed, and her faith destroyed. In a fit of passion, she ran out of the room and attempted to drown herself in the lake.
