Back at the hotel, Hiroshi and Amemiya are getting ready to go to the top of the mountain, where they'll see a beautiful red meadow bunting fluttering in the air. Hiroshi says that the bird is "the embodiment of middle-aged otakudom" , and that he's looking forward to seeing it. The weather is getting worse, and Hiroshi is worried that it's going to get worse before it gets better. He goes to check out the rest of the rooms, but there's still a lot of snow on the ground, so he decides to head back to the house.
