Adnan wakes up one morning to Shizuka's message: "Where do you think we're going?" This sentence occupies his mind throughout the day. That evening, he and Shizuka go for a walk. Adnan stops on the bank of the river, looks into her eyes and says, "Wherever I go, I want to be with you." Although this statement brings tears to Shizuka's eyes, it is not easy to say "yes" right away. Japanese culture does not find it easy, especially for women, to make a decision to marry without permission from their families. But she thinks like Adnan: "My heart has already set out with you."
