His parents decide to send Shou first, so he can start up at his new school. Just like that, it is decided that he's moving to the avowed paradise, Banjo Island. When Shou sticks to his position, his father says that if he wants to stay, he'll have to do it alone, or move out of the house, get a job, quit school, and fend for himself. But his parents perform some pre-arranged dramatic scenes for their son demonstrating just how unhappy they are and how they could remake their poor lives on a tropical island. Shou tells them he has no intention to just run off to live in the middle of nowhere, and he's still in school. Her friend Kyoko Yamada, via a Yamada supermarket, gave her a pamphlet advertising the island's need for emigrants and she and her father think it's a great opportunity for all of them. “Hey, how would you like to live on this southern island?” This is the question Shou Kukoma's mother suddenly drops on him when he comes home from school. A slight flash-forward of Shou marveling at the beauty of Banjo Island
