Akane returned to Ken"s apartment, and their life together began anew. However, due to her part-time job, Akane often returned late. Worried about her, Hazama decided to go to her work, taking his dog with him. On the way back, passing through the park, the dog suddenly wanted to play, and they decided to sit on a bench to watch him. As they watched, Akane began to tell her personal story, opening up to Ken for the first time. After listening to her, he gently advised her to trust the adults around her more and not try to bear the entire burden alone. But at that moment, looking forward, they realized that the dog had disappeared. Akane jumped up to look for him, but lost her balance and fell right on top of Ken. He held her tightly in his arms... but his hands began to move in a passionate impulse.
