The next morning, Tokiwa tells Fumiya that he saw the festival on the big screen, and he started crying. He wonders why he didn't see the two of them die together, but Fumiya doesn't know what to think. He's sorry that they're not able to live, but he's also sorry that he can't do anything about it. Fumiya tells him that he once told him that the world is gray, no matter where they go, and that this place is just as gray as the rest of the world. Tokiwada asks him if he likes the girl, and Fumiya says that she reminds him of nakamura, but that she's writing a novel, which he wants to read. He says that since then, his life has been worth living, because the novel has a great plot. He asks if he'll make her unhappy, and tokiwa says that he won't, because she'll be too unhappy. He adds that he has been running away from the town since the day of the festival, even though he was supposed to be staying there. So, he says, you're still running away, even from the man you love. He thanks Fumiya for coming, and says that the bill is still in the bank, so that's a good sign.
