Mashiro reveals his suspicion that his uncle committed suicide, leading him to anticipate parental resistance against his manga aspirations. His mother denies the suicide claim but initially opposes his career choice. However, his father and grandfather eventually support his dream. Consequently, his grandfather provides Mashiro with his deceased uncle's studio apartment, which Mashiro then shows to Takagi.
