Kei arrives in the future. A man is working behind the counter, polishing glasses. He is in his thirties or forties, and based on his outfit of black bowtie and white shirt, he must work there. He has a large burn scar on his forehead. She asks to see the manager; he says he supposes he is the manager. He says Nagare is in Hokkaido now. Kazu too. Kei reasons that the child must be with them too. She resigns herself to the possibility that Kazu forgot her promise, and reaches for the sugar pot to add sugar to her coffee. Just then the bell above the door sounds and the girl Kei had her photograph taken with arrives.

Kei tells the girl about the meeting, but the girl doesn’t know who she is. The girl disappears in the back, returning in Kei’s wine-red apron. She wipes the counter. Kei wonders if she is the manager’s daughter. When the phone rings, Kei nearly leaves her seat to answer it. If she had left her seat, she would have been transported violently back to the present.

The manager comes back out and answers. He brings the phone to Kei, saying it’s Nagare. The connection isn’t good, but Kei learns that there was some confusion and she has actually gone fifteen years into the future, and it is ten o’clock (mixing up three in the afternoon—15:00—with 10:00). The teenage schoolgirl is their daughter. Kei asks her name. The girl shyly answers Miki, then goes to the back room.

Fumiko enters the café wearing a red apron. Kei recognizes her, and realizes she works there now. Fumiko asks if she talked to Miki. Fumiko says Miki has wanted to meet her badly. Fumiko goes to the back and brings out Miki, telling her not to waste the moment. Kei asks Miki why she didn’t go to Hokkaido with Kazu and Nagare. Miki says that she does Kazu’s job of making the coffee for the people who sit in that seat.
