Tomoya finally comes to terms with Naoyuki that he is not a bad father. She tells Tomoya how he came here with his father shortly after his mother Atsuko Okazaki died, and also how his father worked very hard to support him over the years. Remembering something from his past, Tomoya goes off to another area and meets his grandmother Shino Okazaki, his father’s mother. Ushio plays in the field as Tomoya watches, but Ushio soon loses the robot in the field they try to look for it, but to no avail. The next day, after staying at an inn the previous night, Tomoya and Ushio take a walk through the area and come across a field of flowers. While on the trip, Tomoya buys a toy robot he picks out for Ushio to play with after they arrive in the countryside. Soon after, Tomoya collapses in grief and supposedly dies of shock, then something strange happens. After they leave the house and it starts snowing (remembering Nagisa’s death), Ushio’s fever worsens, and dies calm and serene in Tomoya’s arms right after telling her father that she loves him. Ushio once again asks Tomoya to go on a trip, and he ultimately accepts thinking that he might not be able to fulfill another promised wish. Ushio’s fever still does not back down, and Tomoya seems to be getting sick as well and hallucinates the illusionary world. After several months, winter arrives and then Christmas. Tomoya believes that Nagisa’s and Ushio’s lives are somehow linked to the “changing” in the city.

Akio offers Tomoya some money, but he declines his kindness and Akio states that every man has something to protect. After Tomoya resigns from his job, Yusuke wishes him the best of luck. Ushio asks Tomoya that she wants to go on a trip like last time, but he tells her that it will happen once she gets better.

In case he had to leave home, he calls for both Akio and Sanae to take his place. Ushio has the same illness as Nagisa’s and Tomoya decides to stay home to take care of her.
