When Ward comes back, he's not done with his drafts yet, so he asks his mom if she can take care of him. She says she'll, but she doesn't have anything specific to say to Ward. Ward thanks her for speaking up, and says he'll heal up soon. Ward asks if he can stay at his mom's house, and she says she can, since she's off on business. Ward wants to know what's up with ada, and he asks if she wants to talk to someone else. Ada won't allow him to stay in her room, so Ward says he can go to her room and ask her. Ward tells his mom that he heard that the director of the play was working with Mr. Kong, and that's why he'd be happy to work for free. Ward says that he've heard this before, too, and asks if it's because he can act as a co-star with Dante, too. He also asks why she didn't tell him the secret about her heart, and Ward says it was punishment for not committing to one thing. He asks if this is punishment for being unable to commit to a single thing, or if it was just punishment for her being in love. Ward replies that she has lost her love for him, but that she also fell in love with the man. She's still friends with him, so she can be his friend forever. She asks if they should stop pulling her around, since someone might misunderstand what they're saying.
