It's been a while since Yuzuki has been feeling well. He's just gotten back from a shopping trip, and he's not feeling well at all. He asks nikaido if she's planning on giving him a present for his 31st birthday. She tells him that it's too late, and that she'll have to wait until the following month. Yuzuki asks if he can ask her for a favor. He wants to know what's bothering him lately, and she says that she doesn't want to apologize. She asks him to explain why he hasn't been getting up at the crack of dawn to go to work. He says that he has been doing that for a week, and now he has to turn up at work at dawn to do his work
