Sara is scheduled to fly from Mumbai back to Japan, but while Fujita is waiting for her at the airport, it is reported that the airplane exploded and crashed into the sea. He then meets Ali from the Kerabian Embassy who confirms Sara was on the passenger list. A week later, with no news about Sara, Mitamura visits Fujita and finds the apartment a mess and Fujita in a bad mood. She tries to console him, but all he talks about is Sara. Later, at a Kerabian charity event, Fujita controversially donates the painting, "Ophelia" painted by Everett Millais, based on the character in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. He says it is a donation from Sara from whom he expects to be reimbursed, refusing to accept that she may be dead. Both Mitamura and Fujita are severely affected by Sara's disappearance. However, with Fujita now fearing the worst, Sara suddenly arrives home. She says that she got off the airplane to buy a carpet which she had promised to do and became stranded in Pakistan. After criticizing the quality of the carpet, Fujita then grudgingly accepts the gift and leaves.
