After Akane returned to Hasama’s room, their cohabitation began once again. However, she often came home late due to her part-time job. Worried about her, Hasama decided to pick her up from work, bringing along his dog, Gorō. On their way back, they passed by a park, where Gorō seemed eager to play, so they sat on a bench and watched him run around. As they sat there, Akane began opening up about her past. Listening attentively, Hasama advised her to rely more on the adults around her instead of carrying everything on her own. Just then, they realized Gorō was nowhere to be seen. Panicked, Akane stood up quickly to search for him but lost her balance and fell onto Hasama. He caught her in his arms… but then, his hands started moving in a rather suspicious manner.
