The next morning, Akari wakes up to find that shinji has gone to the office to discuss the matter with his lawyer. She tells him that she's feeling better, but that she doesn't know what to say to him. Akari says that she hasn't eaten since the previous night, and that if she tells him she fainted, he'll worry about her even more. She's worried that she won't be able to respond to his texts, so she sends him eight new messages. She says that there's a woman at the office who's an "alpha woman" , and she'd like to see her. She also says that it's "absurd" for an "omega" to marry into a clan like the daidos.
