Meanwhile, the story jumps back to Tengo, who becomes increasingly entangled with Fuka-Eri, the young writer of the novel "The World of the Four Doors". As they work together on editing and publishing the book, Tengo starts to uncover clues that suggest a deeper connection between the novel's themes and his own life.
