After Sheldon's funeral, Henry flies to New York City and takes a cab to Keiko's apartment.
Nervously, he approaches the door and knocks. A woman opens the door, looking much different than he remembered. But then he sees her eyes and recognizes them immediately—it's Keiko.
She lets him inside and Henry sees that her apartment is filled with paintings of cherry blossoms and ume trees. Keiko became an artist after all.
When she goes to get him a drink from the kitchen, Henry looks at the photos in her apartment and sees her family, including her husband, who died three years ago. So they're both widowers—score.
He spots her record collection and immediately starts thinking about the song they shared together so many years ago, the one they heard at the Black Elks Club.
Then Keiko comes back into the room, and Henry feels like he's still looking at his old friend after all these years.
He says the Japanese phrase he learned from Sheldon when he was a kid.
