12

Upon discovering that Kaoru is scheduled to work on Christmas Day, Hajime makes the decision to spend the holiday elsewhere rather than being by himself. He chooses to go to the residence of Rino and Nozomu to avoid being alone on the 25th. This plan allows him to spend the day with friends instead of facing the date in solitude. The narrative focuses on Hajime's adjustment to the situation and his choice to seek companionship during the festive period.
