Junichi worries when Kaoru misses school and skips classes to find her. He overhears Hibiki and Haruka, then locates Kaoru at her part-time job. She explains she stayed at a manga café after arguing with her mother about dating another man and potential remarriage. Kaoru opposes this change, preferring their current relationship. Junichi offers support, and she admits needing his companionship. The following day, Junichi is relieved to see Kaoru back at school in her usual state after she resolved the issue with her mother.
