Detailed Summary
Hidenori walks down the riverbank and takes a seat. He sits for a while in silence before having his peace broken by Yanagin, who sits close behind him with a book in hand. Sick and tired of this cliché, he curses his luck. However, resigning to what he thinks is fate, he decides to test out a suave line in order to make her happy.

Standing up, he observes a brief pause before saying that the wind was restless that day. He turns to gauge her reaction, but she is engrossed in her book and hasn’t noticed him at all, much to his chagrin. A long, awkward silence ensues with Hidenori still standing. He repeats his line in order to get her attention, failing again as she is now busy talking on her cell phone.

Resolute as ever, Hidenori pauses once more. He starts to speak, but is astonished to see that Yanagin has already fallen asleep. He waits quietly, and when she wakes up groggily after some time, seizes the opportunity and delivers his line clearly.

Another silence passes, and Yanagin exclaims in bewilderment, not having understood Hidenori's intention at all. Sensing this, he is rooted to the spot in distress. He runs away from her, covering his face in embarrassment. Near the top of the bank, he notices Yassan standing there and slows down.

She gives him a confused look. He smiles in return, leaving her blushing and in shock.
