Soji comes running and is frozen there. He wants to speak with her alone. He tells her that he was always worried about her from the start and that he truly loves her. She sighs and says that doing things half isn't good because she lied to herself and at some point she had to work. She says that at first work was rewarding, but that because of her guilt towards her and the family she had no idea what she was doing. She tells him that she will reduce her work load and that from now on she will be able to do her work with confidence.
