It's been a while since we've heard from shimizu, but she's back. She's in the middle of a conversation with her friend fujimoto, who's just returned from a shopping trip. She asks him about his relationship with his childhood friend tamai, and he tells her that he's a "younger brother" to her, and that they broke up a few years ago because he "had bad taste" in women. He also tells her about his recent shopping trip, where he bought a "class item" from a " fortune telling lady" . He's bummed that he wasted 5,000 yen on something that wasn't worth it, but he doesn't know what to do about it. He asks her if she has a boyfriend, and she tells him that she does. She also tells him to make sure that he locks the door after he leaves, because she thinks that's the only way he'll be able to find her. He tells her to "say something," and she says that she'll do it.
