After Yato kills an Octopus Phantom for Tenjin, Yukine immediately runs off to meet with Suzuha, who is tending to an old cheery blossom tree, previously surrounded by a flower garden. Suzuha recalls that a girl named Tomoko visited the flower garden every summer, but she failed to remember him each year when she returned and eventually stopped coming. Later at night, Yukine confides in Yato of the fear that Hiyori might forget them both someday.
