Salaryman Komiya Tomoo takes Moguro's advice to take a spontaneous train ride out of the city to leave his oppressive life behind. Stopping for a drink at the end of the line, he meets a beautiful innkeeper. She invites him to stay with her and help out at her business and he agrees instead of leaving. Some time later, Moguro tells Tomoo to call home and he learns that his wife has been hospitalized, prompting him to return. As he tearfully catches the train home, the innkeeper stands on the platform crying as she watches him leave.
