Chapter IV: The Mysterious Dream and The Key

One night, Kota is dreaming. In his dream, he wakes up to find Akiko in front of him wearing a white dress, and on him, also a white suit, pants, and black shoes, and in a snap, a mysterious hand drags her away from him. Another scene erupts again but she is no longer there. After a while, the alarm clock chimes and he wakes up. As he wakes up, he wonders what was that and if that would have a meaning.

Arriving at school, he encounters Asahi and while walking to the classroom, he tells him about his dream last night. In the classroom, while talking her friends, Akiko notices something strange about Kota at that time. At lunchbreak, Asahi goes over to Kota and as Masashi, Haru, and Satou approach, he tells them about his dream. Akiko also arrives and hears this. Kota then explains to her about the dream, and after he narrates, she has also something to tell her. She recalls as she was falling down on him and like knocked him out. As she's about to get up, Kota also gets up and accidentally kisses her on the lips. Then a hand drags her away from him. Kota asks her also of what they were wearing. For Akiko, she was wearing a white dress while Kota was wearing an all-white attire. To his surprise, it is the same dream Kota had. The group is in shock to find that there is a possibility of conjoint dreams. Kota and Akiko look at each other and blush afterwards. The classroom door opens and the teacher is back for the afternoon session.

The class is over again and while at the dike again, she speaks to Kota again about the dream and frankly did the same thing again to him like the last time. At night they text each other again and Kota wants to point some possible meanings to that dream like a friend of one of them will most likely to pull her away from him however, Akiko doesn't pay attention to this.

Christmas is over and they simply greeted each other. Although he doesn't have something to give her on Christmas, he wants to give her something valuable. His mom then tells him that they're going to Kyoto. He arrives at a busy station together with his family and travels to a shrine. When he is going through the souvenirs, he finds a silver key which has the symbols for Akiko's name which is very coincidentally.
