One day, Taki suddenly wakes up back in his body. After an unsuccessful first date with Miki, he tries contacting Mitsuha but fails. He later finds that they have stopped switching bodies and eventually decides to visit Mitsuha in her hometown. Without knowing the name of her village, he travels around rural parts of Japan, relying solely on the sketches of the village's scenery that Taki drew from memory. Finally, a restaurant server recognizes the town in Taki's sketch as Itomori. He is then told that a fragment of the comet Tiamat had actually fallen to earth three years ago and destroyed Itomori, killing a third of the town's population. As Taki looks through the records of fatalities from the incident, he finds Mitsuha's name.
