Akira and Kondou attend a secondhand book fair, ostensibly for him to recommend a book to her as a friend. Kondou becomes overly excited by the available books and neglects Akira's presence. This behavior stems from his long-standing passion for literature, which has previously caused him to hurt those around him. He feels self-loathing for repeating this pattern of behavior. Throughout this incident, Akira maintains direct eye contact with Kondou. The narrative focuses on Kondou's internal conflict regarding his literary obsession and its impact on his relationships, culminating in a moment where Akira speaks directly to him while he is distracted by the books.
