It's been two weeks since they last saw each other, and now they're both studying for their exams. They decide to go for a date once their exams are over, so they can have some fun together. They're planning to go shopping together, since atsumori usually takes care of the shopping, and then they'll have some time to themselves. Ooh, it's time for soup, and linpack is psyched to be back in the company of his old friend. He's always admired her, and he's happy to hear that she still has high hopes for him, even though he hasn't met her in a long time. . He tells her that he'll forgive her if she doesn't do the right thing, and she's psyched to have a special surprise for him. She's also psyched to write a thank you note to him for always being by her side, and to wish him good luck in his exams.
