Participating in an event, Haruna realizes her company's role in promoting environmental goals beyond home building. A heavy rain triggers her childhood trauma of losing her home to a landslide. At an event, she learns about the importance of proper forest management to prevent disasters. She conceives the idea of recycled wooden straws, facing opposition internally, particularly from Toko. Despite challenges, Haruna persists driven by her desire to prevent others' suffering. The story unfolds as she navigates obstacles to make wooden straws a reality.
