Ep. 5: Masaki suspects Shinmei is an android while Rikuo visits the cafe alone

Masaki informs Rikuo that Shinmei might be an experimental android created to care for human children. Rikuo visits the cafe alone and discovers Shimei has left Chie by herself due to a monthly obligation. He attempts to question Chie about this arrangement, but Akiko intervenes. Setoro explains that humans inevitably hurt those around them, making the situation unavoidable. Later, Rikuo wakes from sleep to find Sammy playing a melody on the cafe piano. He admits he previously stopped playing because he would have resented her mastering the instrument, but declares he no longer cares and begins to play. Shinmei returns to thank Rikuo for the performance. Finally, Rikuo tells Nagi that he does not dislike the cafe.
