The Seaside Ballad (2016)
Fujimoto receives a sealed letter from Etsuko, the wife of his lover, Yoshio. It was a sudden obituary that Yoshio, who had been unable to contact him after a petty fight a month ago, died of a subarachnoid hemorrhage. At the gay bar they used to go to, they talk about their memories with master Uehara and regular customer Iwamura. Iwamura invites the grieving Fujimoto to a hotel to comfort him. However, she realizes that Fujimoto's affection for Yoshio is deep, so she gives up and breaks up with him.
