The engagement ceremony ends successfully, and Karin quietly leaves the scene. She walks on the road alone in contemplation. Everyone has their own different thoughts. What she prefers are beyond the understanding of others; similarly, what others like are beyond her reach. Therefore, she is doomed to be alone.
"Karin, Karin..."
Billie calls her behind her. So she stops and turns back and then asks Billie, "Why do you come with me?"
"Because I want to talk with you."
"But it is your big day. How can you leave now?"
"It doesn't matter. The ceremony ends just now, and it's time for dinner. I can go."
Billie goes into a coffee shop with her.
Listening to the melodious music in the coffee shop, Karin feels better. She is stirring the coffee in the cup while adding sugar to the coffee. Billie looks at her with puzzlement, as if she doesn't know her.
"Is something on my face?"
"No. I remember that you never added sugar when drinking coffee."
Karin smiles and says, "It's too bitter without sugar."
"Why didn't you think that it was bitter?"
"At least I think it was less bitter than now."
It didn't matter even though it tasted bitter before, because she felt happy in her life; however, she only feels pain in her life now.
"Then what are you going to do?"
Billie asks her. She hopes Karin will not be painful anymore.
