Aimi and her friends learn the sometimes comical story of the desperate efforts of the Carp and the people of Hiroshima. Back then, the Carp was a small hope for a city that had lost nothing due to the atomic bombing. Despite being swept away by Tokuzawa's reckless proposal, something changes in the people of the shopping arcade. Just when it seems as if the movie theater is coming back to life, Tokuzawa suddenly disappears. Aimi and the others are shocked, but gradually they begin to learn the real reason for his visit.
