- 7. Episode 7: Love and Bread1998-11-251hA husband keeps his deceased wife in a freezer, reflecting a warped sense of love. His wife once said she wanted to stay by his side even after death. The characters debate love: is it choosing to live or die after a loved one passes? Shafu argues that true love isn’t about living in memories or clinging to death but rejecting the idea of their passing. Noa, however, believes true love is living on for the other person, keeping their memory alive in your future, similar to the film Titanic.
- 8. Episode 8: Little Bear in the Forest of Love1998-12-021hShafu explores the topic of cloning, arguing that family ties are stronger because of blood, while couples lack that connection.

- 10. Episode 10: The Woman Who Waited 20 Years1998-12-161hShafu, now lonely after losing everything, converses with Oshima, who reflects on how power and status have isolated him from his family.

- 11. Episode 11: Love1998-12-231hShafu dies, and Noa falls for a teacher who is already engaged. She hopes Noa will come for her on her wedding day, but he doesn't interrupt the ceremony. Instead, he releases balloons into the sky, symbolizing his love and letting her go to live her own life. Noa chooses to bless her happiness rather than selfishly take her away. The episode suggests that love is like a balloon—fragile yet colorful, floating with the wind, sometimes enduring life's rain and storms.
