Yukiko and the detective revisit the site of her accident and she begins to have slivers of her memory return, but nothing supremely helpful to solving the case. She tries to find people who can help her piece together what she was like before the accident and even retraces her steps throughout the company building in the hopes of jogging her memory further. Then, the packaging arrives for her new chips, and her insistence that the design be flashier runs her into trouble with the marketing firm contracted for the work.
In what seems like a utopia, a declining birth rate has been met with regulation on families that includes certifying who can be parents. This certification process involves inspectors who are children themselves, and their goal is to test prospective parents for fitness to determine who is capable and qualified to raise the next generation of citizens. The inspectors stay with the family for two weeks to discover aptitude and suss out any potential abusers. As the story opens up, an ace inspector is assigned to a couple who have previously failed inspection multiple times, but their circumstances prove to make this assignment very unusual.
Yumeko is relieved to finally find her missing phone, which was confiscated unknowingly as part of the police investigation. She then goes on a trip with her boss to Hokkaido to secure more potatoes for her new potato chip project. Later, the Vice President gives her his contact information to begin communicating via text because he won’t be able to meet her in the park as much. One of Yumeko’s co-workers confesses he has a crush on a coworker from another department, but he lacks confidence due to his excessively curly hair. Yumeko helps him to make the first move and to have confidence in himself.

When she wasn't going to school and trying to pretend to be a normal teenager, young Yan Tieh Hua performed with her family in a classic Chinese theater or learning her family's signature fighting style. Little did she know that an all-out battle on stage with her mother during a performance, begging for the opportunity to be normal for a moment, would be the last before her entire world would turn upside down. Yan would be framed for murder, sent to a secret, high-security prison for 30 years, and presumed dead. Detective Lei, the lead investigator for Yan, gets dragged into the case once more as a viral video of Yan committing a new murder dredges everything up again and uncover new mysteries far beyond the local police.
