Janu visits Mori in her dormitory, where he finds her in a noticeably depressed state. When Janu attempts to lighten the mood with jokes, Mori responds with open hostility, mocking his desperate attempts to befriend everyone at the school. Janu challenges her claim by pointing out that he is not actually trying to befriend her, leading to a tense exchange where Mori insults his intelligence and questions his motives as a teacher. The character Dayai briefly interrupts their bickering with a lighthearted comment about them looking good together, which Mori quickly shuts down. Mori ultimately attempts to leave to escape Janu's presence, threatening to physically harm him if he follows. Janu ultimately stays behind, unable to track her down, but resolves to continue trying to win her over in the future.
