It's finals time, and Harima and Tsukamoto are having coffee together. Harima asks about her friend, and he tells her that he hasn't been feeling well lately, and that he's been going to America to work on his schoolwork. He doesn't tell her why, but he does tell her that they're trying to figure out a plan to get him back to class. He's also worried about how people will react to his weird behavior. He wants to hire an assistant to help him with his schoolwork, so he asks her to come to the office right away. She agrees, and they go off to work.
