At the party, Tachibana tries to get the other artists to talk to him about their real lives. He tells them that he's glad they approve of him after all, because he'll be able to tell them about his real life stories. He's also glad that they're drinking, because it'll give him a chance to get to know them better. He tries to keep the conversation going, but everyone is so loud that he can't keep it up. He starts to cry, and Tachibanna tries to calm him down. He says that he doesn't want his friend to hate him, and that he wishes they'd become better friends sooner, so that they wouldn't have to deal with each other all the time. He also says that if he'd always been the one giving, it would probably feel like dating a girl, and it would make him feel manly, too. He feels guilty for letting himself just go along with the flow, and he wishes that he could have gotten along with akiyoshi sooner. He wants to know why they got the wrong idea that he was a sweet boy, and why they didn't get along better when they were on the phone together. He wishes that they would have become friends sooner because he thinks it would have made him feel better about himself, and not like he was being a jerk to him. He asks if he can have a ride home, and when he gets there, he finds out that aki-yoshi is coming to pick up his things. He apologizes for being late, and says that it's a first for them to be late, since they've never been late together before. He thinks that he should be angry, since he've already been sobered up, but he wishes he could just be quiet and not show his emotions.
