The next morning, Hirokazu asks Mr. Harada if he's okay, and he says that he is, but that he doesn't feel well. He asks if he is feeling sick, and Hiroki replies that he isn't, and that he feels fine. He then asks if Hiroki wants to go with him, and she says that she thinks he wants to leave her alone with him. She then asks him if he wishes he were with her instead of with kashi. He says that it's tough, but he feels lucky that he was able to get rid of his inhibitions. He also says that getting to spend so much time with him makes him happy, because it makes him feel his heart race, which is different from when he is alone with Hiroki. He thanks everyone for their hard work, and says that they will make it to the next stage of the journey in time for the next day's journey. Hiroki tells him to take a nap, because he has some messages for osaka. He tells her to just do what she can, and not to worry too much about the long journey.
