He is considered a competitor by Kawamura Satoru, who joined the shop at the same time and is good at pleasing customers and the store manager. Touji went to the library to borrow hairdressing materials and met the beautiful girl Machida Kyoko (Tokiwa Takako) who worked in the library. Kyoko is a disabled person who must rely on a wheelchair to live. Although she looks cheerful and optimistic, her physical defects still make her afraid to enjoy a normal relationship. Touji invited Kyoko to be his hair model. After several contacts, the two gradually became close from misunderstanding to mutual attraction. Although this unequal relationship is obstructed by worldly prejudice and others, and the worsening of Anzi's illness increases the uncertainty of the future, the two always hold on to beautiful beliefs and work hard to create a beautiful life together...
