Summary
Nene finds herself on July 7th, 1964 after being hit by a bull, there she meets young Hanako eating a lollipop. Nene frightened as she realizes she has gone back at least 50 years. Seeing Nene in desperate, young Hanako suggests her that he will take her to the lost children's centre near the bamboo tree as he's going to hang his card there too. Nene looks at the red tag and remembers what Hanako has said about the tags before. She believes that if she gets the red tag from young Hanako, she'll be able to go back to the present. Nene runs to Hanako and grabs his clothes, with a pretty creepy face, begging him to give her. Nene keeps on clinging to young Hanako's legs to get the tag, that she annoyed him so much enough to make young Hanako asks a question: "Why do you even need my tag so bad?" Worried that if she tells the truth, young Hanako will be even more confused, Nene makes a lie that if she doesn't have the tag, she won't be able to have a boyfriend forever.

They go to a bench to sit with each other after young Hanako bought some food. Hanako appeases Nene that it was fine that Nene needn't worry. Hanako says he guesses that Nene has confessed 100 times and got rejected by all of them. Furthermore, he says Nene was so fooled that she lost everything, thus she has to bet on help from the lords and gods. Hanako explains because he can't share the tag for Nene, instead he'll share the food.
