Synopsis
Tomoko awakes wondering how to spend her Winter Break. She emerges to find her mom talking on the phone. Her mom informs her that her grandfather collapsed and she and her father may not return that evening. She leaves Tomoko 5,000¥ for her and her brother to buy food for dinner.
Sitting under the kotatsu, Tomoko wonders how to spend her day. She watches a television program which mentions a hotpot. The scene shifts to Tomoko shopping for ingredients for a hotpot. She prepares the ingredients, then orders her returning brother to perform the actual cooking while she takes a bath she prepared. Tomoko add tables to create bubbles in her bath which she finds ticklish. She then wonders what will happen if she sits directly above them. She seems pleased with the results.
Back in the kitchen, Tomoki notes the obsessive exactitude in which she cut and prepared the ingredients before he starts cooking. Tomoko returns and insists that they eat at the kotatsu so they can watch Disappearance. She then expects Tomoki to refill her glass like an underling to his irritation and refusal. She receives a call that informs her that her grandfather will be fine. Tomoki recalls the details of the anime, and Tomoko explains she showed him the series rather than the movie in a previous break. He recalls when they were younger watching the series during a break while eating breakfast until interrupted by their mother. Tomoko notes that enjoying such vacations is a thing of their past.
When Tomoki leaves to take his bath, Tomoko checks the listings then suddenly insists that he first escort her to a convenience store. Despite his protests that it is 10 P.M., he relents. As they walk, she explains that Game Center CX will be shown late night, and she wants to watch it with ice cream in the kotatsu. As Tomoki gripes to himself that she seems to be enjoying her break well enough, Tomoko happily exclaims how invigorating a late night walk is, and they have the following day off as well.
