Synopsis
It's revealed that during her summer, Reiko tried to climb Mt. Fuji with her bike. She also took a part-time job handling supplies and proofing the trails. Her boss comments that she's trying to do something foolish trying to climb the mountain with her bike but Reiko is adamant to accomplish it. Reiko wanted to accomplish this feat ever since she was little and has done an extensive research so she can prepare herself to do it. She also was fully honest about her endeavor when she applied for her job and was accepted. Back in the present, Reiko does more proofing the trails and crashes her bike again, breaking a rearview mirror. Though she laments her failure, Reiko still proclaims she'll climb Mt. Fuji with her bike and her boss gives her some personal advice to help her. Hearing her boss' advice gives Reiko a realization of how beautiful Mt. Fuji is and how she endeavors to climb it with her bike. Rejuvenated, Reiko tells her she's off to proof the trail again and her boss tells her to take care.
