Janu decides to walk to the garden, reflecting on his growing stamina and the unexpected support he has received from Anii. Upon arriving, he discovers Oki and her twin sister, Omina, embroiled in a heated argument. Janu accidentally alerts them to his presence by stepping on a branch, leading to a tense exchange. Omina remains fixated on referring to Janu as "Mister Man," despite his repeated corrections, while Oki expresses mounting frustration toward her sister's evasiveness regarding their family history and childhood memories, specifically a dog bowl and collar.
The conflict escalates when Omina reveals that their aunt views Janu as a negative influence on Oki. Janu unintentionally exacerbates the tension by suggesting Oki might be irritable due to her "time of the month," causing further friction between the twins. Oki, feeling overwhelmed and seeking to clear her head, demands that Omina stop lying to her. The scene concludes with Oki leaving the garden to find space, prompting Omina to shut the garden for the day. Omina and Janu share a brief moment of reconciliation, with Omina expressing her desire to improve her relationship with her sister. Janu departs with the intention of checking on Oki later, reflecting on the complex and contrasting nature of the Shiroiruka sisters.
