Back at the office, Hirokazu's assistant, Kasumi, tells her boss that she's been hanging out with her crush, Hirobiki, for a while now. She tells him that they've been together for about a month, and that he's always been nice to her, even when he doesn't want her to be friends with him. He's a jerk, she tells him, but he always supports her from the back of the room, and she thinks that's kind of cool. She says that she can't figure out how to break things off with him, because he always makes her feel like a total jerk. She also says that people are spreading rumors about him, which makes her want to slap him, even if it's just for a moment.
