It's Hiroyuki's birthday, and he tells his brother that he's happy because he has a book for him to use instead of going to school to learn how to study. Hiroyuki says that he wants to talk to his sister about how she's feeling and how he can help her. He tells Hiroyuki that he can change, but he can't do it fast enough. He wants to know what's going to happen next. He says that Hiroyuki is the one telling him not to study so hard, but Hiroyuki doesn't know how to respond. He's worried that his sister is angry at him, and Hiroyuki thinks that's the reason. He asks his brother if he can give him one last chance, and his brother says that it's his first time groveling to anyone, and that he is unleashing it on his sister. He wonders if this will pay off, but his brother assures him that it will.
