The next morning, nashi moto asks sonobe what he thinks of her, and he replies that she doesn't see him as a woman, but that he would be happy to have her as a friend. Unsure of what to tell her, he suggests that they ask sonobe how he would feel if he were to confess to nashi, and then try to probe his feelings a little more. He feels bad for nashi because she is a girl, but he hopes that the confession will clear everything up.
