The voice on the other end of the phone is that of a young man. It's hashimoto, and he's on the phone with his mom. He's worried about his mom's reaction to his rejection, but he doesn't want to let her down. He tells her to go to the bathroom and rummage around for a towel, but she won't let him do that because she's seen him naked before. She tells him to go back to his room and rest, and she promises to bring him a towel. She's not sure if it's an e-mail or a call from the office, but it sounds like they've accepted the rejection. She thanks him for being such a good person, and says she'll be back to work soon. He thanks her for always being positive, and then he says he'd give up the moment he got rejected, but seeing her always be so positive helped him.
