The next morning, Mina and Harada are sitting in Harada's apartment, and Mina asks Harada if he's feeling well. Harada replies that he is, but that he has work to do. Mina asks him if he has ever been told that his clothes are "import ant." Harada says that he hasn't, and that he'd prefer to believe that there are "some things" that aren't changed. Mina tells Harada that she's worried about rumors that Harada has been spending time with a woman who isn't his girlfriend. She asks if Harada and Mina haven't been in touch since they were at his house, since Harada is supposed to be traveling alone with another woman. Mina says that she has not talked to Harada since they left, but she also points out that he can't really feel how hard Mina's pain is because of her mother's death. She says Harada must be the one who's "more import ant" in his life. Mina then asks how Mina is for time, since she doesn't know where all the 15 are going. She tells him that she thought she might be happier if she accepted toma's offer of marriage, but then she remembers that she told Harada she would wait for him, and he didn't seem interested in her at all. Mina wants to know if she plans on burning the midnight oil, and she says she'd like some time off.
