The next morning, Hirokazu asks to speak with sumino san alone. He tells her that he has seen everything that she has ever seen, and that he wants her to notice him. She tells him that she is living with him, but she has never seen anything like that. She says that she installed the surveillance system because she was worried that she would be alone, and she had installed it because she wanted to make sure that she did not become dependent on him. He says that even though he thought she could become friends, he would become needy if she continued like this. She asks him if he would prefer him over her, and he replies that he would. She apologizes to him for making him feel so sorry for what he has done to her. He asks her if she would like him to be friends with him. When she says she would, he says he would like her to be friend with him even if it means that he will become needy. She replies that she does not feel that way, and when he says she might have led him, she says he is not feeling that way for her. She leaves. She goes to get a towel, and then she wonders if sumino is okay. She wonders if she can talk to him alone, because she has not seen him in a while. He looks at her and asks her to borrow a message.
