The next morning, the wolf realizes that he lied to Akashi about his drinking, and he apologizes to her. He wants to have sex with her, but wants to do it on his bed, not in her room. Akashi tells him that she did not want to give him up on him, and the wolf feels sorry for her mistake. He tells her that since he started working at the company, he's always looked out for her, and that he was happy when he and Akashi started working together. He's glad that Akashi makes him happy, because he feels terrible when he sees how happy she is. He asks her if she's ever visited a client, and she says she doesn't, since she works in planning and development. The manager of the beauty parlor, she tells him, is a "straight shooter," and she warns him to be careful.
