In an effort to reconnect with his daughter Ushio, Tomoya decides to take her on a trip to visit his grandparents in the countryside. As they make their way through the train station, Ushio asks her father about the reasons for their journey, wanting to know where they're headed and why. Tomoya answers that they're going to visit his hometown and the people he grew up with.

Though they have only seen each other a few times in the past, Tomoya feels a sense of comfort in returning to the people and places that he once knew so well. As he and Ushio make their way to his grandparents' home, they stop along the way to visit old friends and acquaintances.

In the days that follow, Tomoya reflects on his life and his memories. He realizes that, in many ways, he had been living his life for Nagisa, trying to keep her legacy alive and keep her spirit close to him. But in focusing so much on his past, he had lost sight of the beauty and potential of the present and the future.
