One day, Mina wakes up and realizes that she's 33 years old. She's been wondering what it's like to be in love with someone her own age for ten years. She asks Hayasaka if he's into her, and he tells her that he definitely is. He's going to propose to her on her birthday, he says, and she'll have to wait until after he proposes to her. Mina says that she loves drinking with other women, and that women have to make a choice between being loved and being in love once they've been together for a long time. She wants to know if he will propose tonight. He says he'll start with two glasses of wine and then move on to the meat. Mina is impressed that the gossip about Mina's "girls night out" continues to circulate, even though she no longer is a girl.
