Janu visits the jazz café for a scheduled event, only to find the establishment mysteriously dark and devoid of patrons. After a disorienting, surreal experience where time seems to skip and the environment shifts, he encounters Kio, who asks if he is ready to accompany her to meet Eruka. Janu declines, feeling it inappropriate to insert himself into their personal conflict, and Kio departs for the meeting.
The narrative shifts to the reunion between Kio and Eruka at an abandoned train station in the Jhizonyu countryside. Their initial interaction is marked by palpable awkwardness and tension as they attempt to reconcile. They reminisce about their shared past, childhood antics, and mutual history before shifting the conversation to their current lives and mutual acquaintances. During the discussion, Kio confronts Eruka about her feelings for Janu. Eruka eventually admits to having a "little crush" on him, clarifying that it developed through his assistance with her debate club project. The scene concludes with the two reaffirming their bond, with Kio apologizing for her previous behavior and both promising to move past their recent conflict.
