Report 72

Plot
Arata recalls coming to work at his old company one day and finding his harassed co-worker Michiru Saiki having hung herself in the office. Anxiously reaching out at his neck, he loses awareness of being in the middle of discussion with Chizuru. She begins to worry and moves closer to check if Arata is all right, and for a moment it seems to him like it is Michiru before him and hugs her, apologizing profusely and promising to grow up.

Arata is brought back to the present moment as Chizuru wonders what he is apologizing for. He panics as he realizes he is hugging Chizuru, however she is just happy that he has returned to normal. Chizuru then sums up the situation that though it might be best not to get involved with the trouble between Rena and Honoka but she really does not want to let them drift apart, and Arata agrees.

Though they both have their doubts if they should interfere, Chizuru explains that she has always felt held back by memories of her mistakes but nothing will change that way. She then proposes that instead of running away, this time they have their revenge by overcoming the problem together.
