The narrator tells us that he doesn't really know what's going on between Mizumori and Harada, but he does know that he wants to thank Harada for his kindness. He asks Harada if he's missing his "pur pose" . Harada says that he'd be lying if he said that he wasn't missing the "perfectly straight form" of the pose he used in high school. The narrator says he can't beat Harada on the pose, because Harada is so perfect. He also asks if there's any chance that Harada would be open to going out with him, since they've just gotten back together after all this time apart. The man says that sex is off the table, so he won't press Harada to answer immediately. He'll wait for his car to be nearby so he can give the man a ride. The two of them decide to split up, and the narrator tells Harada not to think of him as "trou-blesome" because he was so happy that he got to kiss him. He says that if Harada really is OK with the kiss, then he'll be able to get another chance at love with another man. He tells the narrator that he can feel Harada's breath on him, and he asks the narrator to stop asking how he feels about the kiss.
