Janu walks to the hair salon to challenge himself, arriving exhausted and with sore feet. He encounters Tora waiting outside the locked shop, as Ito is unavailable and her sister, Tami, is unreachable. Janu and Tora sit together to talk, during which Tora vents about her frustration regarding the lack of appreciation for her hard work at the salon and her strained family dynamic with Tami and their absent mother.
Tora shifts the conversation to ask Janu if he has been on a date with Tami. Depending on prior events, Janu either reveals they have spent time together at a diner or admits he has not yet called her. Tora expresses relief that they are not exclusive, noting it would be awkward for her if her teacher were dating her sister. The scene concludes when Tora receives a text from Tami summoning her to collect keys. Tora departs for Tami's apartment, thanking Janu for his role in her life before leaving him to continue his walk.
