Mr. Fort returns after 18 years abroad and learns his mother has arranged a banquet to present elites as potential wives. He refuses, saying his heart belongs to someone, and heads to Peachvale, Brookhill to find Carine, the woman he calls his idol. He and his companions arrive at her shabby home; they worry she may not match his memories, but he vows he'll marry her regardless of appearance. Standing at her door he knocks; a bystander answers, asking, "She's Ms. Carine?" The question hangs as he waits for a response.
