Janu arrives at the gym for a workout with Anii. Anii expresses some resentment over Janu ditching her and Chinaka for free boba with other girls, though they eventually reconcile, and Janu agrees to accompany them to tennis in the future. After Anii mentions she had to carry an exhausted Chinaka back to the dorms after their match, Janu departs, sensing Anii had more to say.
Janu is intercepted by Chinaka, who is wearing only a towel and is about to enter the sauna. Chinaka reveals a manipulative plan to push Anii into acknowledging her romantic feelings: she wants Janu to enter the sauna and, upon the safe word "Translucent," remove his towel to shock Anii into action. Janu is hesitant but eventually agrees to fulfill the plan as a favor to Chinaka.
In the sauna, once Anii joins them, Chinaka steers the conversation before saying the safe word. Janu complies, exposing himself to Anii. While Chinaka leaves to give them space, Anii is initially panicked and flustered but stays in the sauna. She eventually engages physically with Janu, holding his exposed member and finding a strange sense of comfort in the act. The encounter ends with them agreeing to keep the intimacy secret. Janu reflects on Anii's "slow burn" nature and his willingness to take his time in pursuing their relationship further, noting that his debt to Chinaka is now settled.
