Yuichi's mother eventually asks Mikage to stay at their place for a while. Yuichi is highly amused by her reaction when he reveals that his mother is actually his father, who had a sex-change operation. Later that night, she meets Yuichi's mother, Eriko, and is stunned by her beauty. She is fascinated by the kitchen, the comfortable sofa, and the bevy of plants. When Mikage arrives at Yuichi's apartment, she immediately falls in love with it. A few days later, Yuichi Tanabe, a young man who works in the flower shop her grandmother used to frequent, visits Mikage and asks her to have dinner with him and his mother. With the last remaining family member now gone, she finds comfort in the kitchen, particularly next to the humming refrigerator. At the beginning of the novella, Mikage, a young woman whose grandmother has recently died, explains her love for kitchens.
