The next day, Hiroshi apologizes to Tachibana for putting her in such a difficult situation. He admits that he is not confident that he can respond to her feelings. He tells her that they can do a trial period between now and the summer break, during which time they can date each other. He says that he will not have anything to do with her family or her childhood friend, and that he does not want to be a burden to her. He adds that he feels that she thinks too highly of him. He explains that he wants to get a full-time job after he graduates high school so that he and her can date without any shame. He asks her to ask him for advice on how to do this. She asks him if he is going out with his friends, and he says he is. He has a job interview at the interview place and he will be leaving the next day. He invites her to come and see if he gets the job he wants.
