It's late, and Natsuo is still moping around like a corpse. He's not dressed for work, and he's worried about getting heat stroke if he doesn't wake up. He asks if she's sleeping on the floor, and she replies that she is. She tells him that she has no work lined up yet, and that she'd like to do some research on him. He tells her that he has been trying to write a novel, but he hasn't yet written enough to be able to publish it. He wants to learn more about her, so he asks her to give him a hand. She says that she sometimes buys him presents when they go on shopping trips, but that she hasnt started shopping yet. She asks if they're friends, and they both agree that they are. They both feel like they are back in high school, and when they see each other again, they both realize how old they are and how much they have grown up. They ask each other if they made love with each other, and each says that they did, but they don't want to be too hard on each other. They all agree that it's nice to have each other around, and one of their employees says that he saw them walking in the street together. They agree to go to the office together.
