Report 217

Plot
In the morning after graduation, Ryō receives a phone call from Arata. To Ryō's great surprise Arata tells him he is not interested in any of the companies offered to him - instead, he wants to work for the ReLIFE Laboratory. Ryō explains the realities of the job, including not having a normal everyday life and repeatedly going through the experiences he has just had. However, Arata is convinced by the value of his own experience that he wants to work helping others have the same. Happy about the outcome, Ryō promises to deliver the news to his superiors.

A few days after entering work life again, Arata is still wondering about the phone strap that he for some reason has still not wanted to remove despite feeling it is out of place on a grown man. Unknown to him, part of his way to work he shares the train with Chizuru, who for her part also has has her strap still attached and hanging out from the pocket of her office jacket.



On the station platform he bumps into Honoka, Nobunaga and Akira, practicing the way to the university before the semester to compensate for Honoka's bad sense of direction. Akira is protective of Honoka like before and tells Arata, who he now calls 'old man', to stop staring at her. Still covering for Akira's rudeness Nobunaga apologizes to Arata, who does likewise, and both parties go their separate ways.
