The next morning, Amemiya wakes up to find that her husband has gone to sleep. He asks her if she would like to marry him, and she says that she would, but that she doesn't want to marry someone who is not her husband. He tells her that tomorrow is the day that the girl's "child world display" is going to take place, and he asks her who she thinks was there to cheer her up when she was "at rock bottom" . She tells him that she thinks it's Hiroyuki, and that she's glad that he's coming back. She says she'd like to talk to him about the marriage, but she can't figure out what he is thinking. He says that he wants to "keep up appearances" , and now that he has a wife, he needs to get married. She's sorry that she ran away from him last night, but says she couldn't bear to see him laugh at her with his own two eyes, so she ran off. She thinks that it was just his "managerial instincts kicking in" that made her run away. She wonders if they can try again, and wonders if she has to choose between being a "model house wife" and being a housewife. She knows that men have a tough time leaving their past behind, but now that she is back, she wants things to be "different" between them.
