The summer of the Fourth Month came. Kaoru was deep in sorrow when the day came that was appointed for Ukifune to move to the city. The scent of the orange blossoms near the veranda brought back memories. A cuckoo called and reminded him of the past. He sent a poem to Niou to hint to him what had happened, "You may weep also remembering Ukifune." Niou was with Nakanokimi and wrote him back a poem, but which was not a direct answer.
