Sensei, with his head in the clouds, recalls a poem he was reading with Ami the other day. He wanders the streets in his usual manner, until he stumbles upon Karin, carrying plenty of grocery bags. Akira has to use his charisma and savvy for Karin to accept his help after what have happened between them.
Sensei follows Karin, and on their way to her home, they have discussed how their relationship could be fixed. As their conversation flowed, they have talked about Sensei's and Ami's past and present. It touches Karin deeply, she is empathetic towards Sensei even despite his behaviour, making her give Sensei a chance for redemption. And just when Karin started describing what Sensei must do, his mind departs from his body and gets more freedom.
