It's been a long time since we've heard from Tachibana, and now she's finally ready to get back to work. She's so upset that she can't even eat breakfast, which is a good thing. She tells us that she used to be a model teacher for the staff, so she knows how to cook and how to prepare food, too. She asks if she went to the doctor to find out what's wrong, and the doctor tells her that it probably comes from a bad taste in her mouth. She says that if she spends all her time in the kitchen, she'll be miserable. She also says that she didn't want to support Natsuo, because he was hurting the most, and that's why she was so upset when he died. She wants to go on a trip with him, but she needs to figure out what her feelings are for him.
