Back at the fire station, ebihara confesses that he has just had a kiss with the fire captain. He's not sure what's going on, but he doesn't want to say anything bad. He tells the captain that he's just having a good time, and he thanks him for his hard work. . The captain is surprised that he didn't ask about his past, since he'd assumed that he was in love with a woman. He also says that he shouldn't have fallen for someone who's single, since she's probably not going to last very long in life. He says that if you're not careful, you'll end up in a lot of trouble, and that's why he advises people to be more careful with their rescue efforts. He adds that it's better to be a good rescuer than a bad one, because you never know what the other person might be like when they're out in the real world. He compares himself and the captain to a guy who wants to be "acknowledged," but he can't always be. He thinks that if he pushes back too hard, he can save someone's life. The two of them have been together for a while, and they've both gotten used to each other's good natures. They've even gotten to know each other in a sexual way, which is kind of weird, since they used to be best friends. But now that they are together, they can be friends again. They both know that they'd like to become a rescuer, and so they decide to take off for the hospital.
