Report 114

Plot
After her failed attempt to stop the bullying of the girl on her class, Chizuru became even more withdrawn. Feeling bad for her due to knowing her background, Ryō wanted to help Chizuru so she would not waste her experiment. However, she turned down all of Ryō's attempts to have a discussion, which he realized was influenced by his instruction not to rely on ReLIFE staff too much during the experiment, as true to her nature she took the instruction very seriously. She kept showing no signs of changing, and Ryō kept getting blamed by the higher-ups for the lack of progress, being told alternately that his support was either inadequate or excessive.

While Chizuru kept excelling academically, her experiment was considered a failure due to the lack of any improvement in the interpersonal sense. The events took a heavy toll on Ryō, causing his ability to focus on his duties to suffer. While An attempted to lift his spirits by assuring him that with Chizuru's support duties the odds were stacked against him from the beginning, he was strained to the point that he ended up collapsing at work.
