His father picks him up at the airport, and on the drive home, the father mentions that the protagonist’s mother died two years ago. The mother died from eating fugu, or puffer fish, which contains a deadly poison. Despite being a delicacy, fugu must be prepared carefully to avoid poisoning.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Watanabe had lost her husband to suicide after his business failed. Over dinner, Mrs. Watanabe’s mother served fugu, and both Mrs. Watanabe and the protagonist’s mother died from the poison.
