One evening, Haida told him a strange story about his father: when he was a college student, he took a leave from his studies and worked in a secluded hot-springs inn where he met man who called himself Midorikawa (whose name contains "Green"), a jazz pianist from Tokyo who was incredibly talented. Midorikawa also told Haida's father a strange story about himself: One month previously, he had willingly accepted a "death token" condemning him to die two months later unless he could pass it on to another volunteer, but despite his talent, he was tired of his life. This near-death experience opened for him "the doors of perception", making his last weeks more wonderful than the decades he was giving up, and it also made him able to see people's color auras.

The next day he drives in Hämeenlinna, the rural town where Kuro has a holiday cottage. He first meets Kuro's husband, potter Edvard Haatainen. When Kuro arrives with her daughters, Edvard takes the latter to do some shopping.

A successful but deeply unhappy man, Aka tells Tsukuru that Shiro's story did not stack up at the time, and that Shiro seemed to have lost her love for life long before she died. Aka himself has issues, having belatedly realized after a failed marriage that he is gay, and feeling rejection from the people of Nagoya, including Ao, who dislike his somewhat shady business, which uses some psychological methods used by the Nazis. Tsukuru reassures Aka that he still cares for him, and departs.

Tsukuru was sacrificed to protect Shiro because the group believed he was the strongest emotionally and could deal with the ban.
