As soon as Onna-Sannomiya settles down in Rokujō-In as Hikaru-Genji's legitimate wife, Murasaki-no-Ue makes up her mind to pay a personal visit to her. Then she doesn't miss the opportunity to see the new mistress in her boudoir exactly at the moment when she invites her husband's daughter Akashi-no-Kimi there. In spite of her dissatisfaction with the situation, Murasaki-no-Ue diplomatically tries to bring order into the new regime through the arrangement of intimate three-party talks. By opening the closet door, she hopes to open everyone's heart at Rokujō-In.
