Janu visits the common room and finds Mori hanging a poster for a lost cat. The two engage in their customary banter, with Mori acting characteristically hostile and dismissive while Janu teases her about their relationship. After Janu correctly identifies that she is putting up a flyer for a missing cat, Mori expresses annoyance at his presence, insisting that they are not friends and that she is merely mocking or insulting him rather than teasing. Janu admits to Mori that he had mentally "phoned out" during her previous explanations, which leads Mori to voice her growing hatred toward him. Janu remains unperturbed, asserting that because they are "friends," he will leave her in peace, while Mori reiterates her disdain as he departs.
