After a difficult and emotionally draining birth, Nagisa's health is fragile and it becomes apparent that they will not be able to take her home immediately.

While Tomoya watches over Ushio, his friends try to help him cope with the situation. Kyou suggests that Tomoya take Ushio to meet her grandparents and great-grandparents, who live in the countryside. At first, Tomoya is reluctant, but after being reassured that it will give Nagisa a chance to rest and recover, he decides to take Ushio on the trip.

He accepts that Nagisa's condition is out of his control and that all he can do is be there for Ushio.
