Yoshino is always being asked to things, though she rarely does the asking. For a friend's wedding she cancels a holiday and even agrees to run the after-party. Halfway through, she is called to lend a hand at the wake for her boss's father, so she hands the speech and party to her co-organiser, changes into black and takes a cab to the hall, where colleagues are busy and her empty stomach starts to torment her.
