Ep. 10: Protagonist trapped in infinite identical rooms after two years of isolation
Aired on June 25, 2010

A disillusioned college freshman spends two years in his 4½ tatami room, avoiding all clubs. He awakens to find infinite, seemingly identical rooms beyond every surface. Sustaining himself on castellas and collecting money, he explores the space. The rooms reveal slight variations corresponding to choices he could have made, though he has only vague memories of his past actions. Despite previous complaints, he finds these alternate lives interesting and fun. He realizes his true despair stems from loneliness and decides he cannot continue in this state. No time rewinding animation is shown in this sequence.
