Dr. Otani and Dr. Natsume discuss the possibility of the two of them breaking off their relationship. The doctor says that if they do break it off, it will be because they got too close together. He asks if he should shave his beard, but the man says that it is too long and that he will probably have to do it in a couple of days. He says that Otani came in the morning, and that if he does not come in, then he will have to shave.
