Janu spends his lunch break in his office, preoccupied with paranoia about potential surveillance devices. Nokana enters, seeking comfort as she is currently on awkward terms with her friend, Mori, who has been avoiding her. Janu, while unable to offer specific guidance on teenage girl dynamics, listens as Nokana expresses her distress over the estrangement.
During their conversation, Nokana questions if a falling out between Janu and Mori might be the cause of the tension. Janu experiences a brief, jarring flashback—a visual of his hands around someone's neck—before dismissing the idea. The two share a moment of connection, and Janu holds Nokana's hand at her request to help her recall a previous feeling. Their intimate moment is interrupted when Eruka enters, causing Nokana to rush out. Eruka proceeds to give Janu a massage, during which they discuss their past kiss and flirtatiously tease the prospect of future romantic encounters before the lunch bell ends their interaction.
