Report 107

Plot
Kazuomi and Rena have left the park, but Arata and Chizuru stay behind to reflect on what they saw. Chizuru tells Arata she knew that Rena, not just Kazuomi was planning a confession, and since Rena was influenced by the possibility of Kazuomi going to another university Chizuru wondered what is the point of a confession if you know you are going to be separated. However, watching Rena and Kazuomi made Chizuru think it might be a waste not to take the opportunity to feel happy now, reminding Arata of Ryō telling him that he will be erased from everyone's memories at the end of the experiment, but also encouraging him to enjoy his first and last summer vacation of high school.

Arata asks Chizuru if she understood anything new about love, and she replies that even though watching Rena and Kazuomi made her feel that it is a good thing, when it is about her it just makes her sad. Feeling a sting in his heart Arata takes note of what Chizuru said implying that she has feelings for someone, who he assumes is Ryō.

Concurring that the fear of a future separation should not stop them from enjoying the present, Arata places his hand on Chizuru's head and tells her that her best opportunity to make lots of friends and to experience a wonderful romance is now. However, as he does so he thinks to himself that he has to distance himself from Chizuru to prevent her from wasting the high school life she has been working so hard to have on making memories with him since they will be erased when his ReLIFE experiment ends.

As he thinks that for the same reason Chizuru would do well to steer clear from Ryō as well as him, Arata is suddenly reminded of the signs of falling in love he told Kazuomi to help him figure out his feelings for Rena: she is someone he finds interesting, thinks about a lot, does not want taken away by someone else and wants to get physically close with. As he looks Chizuru in the eyes, still holding his hand on her head, Arata is hit by the shocking realization that there is someone for him as well who fits the description.
