Shizuru wants to read the picture book again and ends up ordering the book through an auction site on the internet. While Shizuru reads the picture book, a small piece of paper falls out of the picture book. The piece of paper looks several years old and lists ingredients like it is a recipe. Shizuru doesn't know why, but she can't throw the piece of paper away. Because of the piece of paper, Shizuru and a man begins to exchange mail. They have never met before, but the picture book, which they both read when they were young, connects them. Cast Edit Translation
