Week 4 (eps 19 thru 24)

In the spring of 2001, though Wakaba is soon to be graduated from the university she still cannot find a job. To save money to go to Kobe, she works at a barn taking care of cows in the morning and at sweet pea fields which belong to Junichi’s parents in the afternoon. Kotaro, her uncle, is worried to see her exhausted both physically and mentally. Hikari, Wakaba's brother, who is also concerned about Wakaba, sends a letter to their grandfather Eizo in Kobe. Eizo asks Kazuyuki Igawa, a gardener who he knows, to employ Wakaba. Wakaba drinks heavily at a cheerleading team’s party to celebrate the graduation and stays in bed for two days. She says thoughtless words to Hikari. Some days later, Wakaba hears from Eizo that she will be employed at Igawa’s. Hearing also from him that Hikari has asked Eizo for the arrangement, she apologizes to Hikari in tears. On the day of her departure, Wakaba receives from Utako her mother, a bank savings book and finds that her mother has saved money for her. On the way to the airport, Wakaba sees Junichi on the roadside to see her off with a bouquet of sweet pea flowers.
