A late-night stop at a convenience store leaves Arisa smitten with a stranger named Kureno, but his ties to the Sohma family and his vow to Akito keep the two apart.
During a night-time trip to a convenience store, Arisa meets a man and finds herself falling for him. Chance later reunites the two, and the stranger, who gives his name as Kureno, treats her to lunch. Both had dwelled on the other in the days between, having been struck the instant they first met. A future together stays closed to them, however, because Kureno belongs to the Sohma family and has pledged to remain at Akito's side always.
Arisa meets Kureno at a convenience store and the two later run into each other again and share a meal. Mutual feelings surface, but Kureno's Sohma bonds and his sworn duty to Akito make a relationship impossible.

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
