Plot
Confident in her conclusion that Arata is most likely a ReLIFE subject like her, Chizuru tells Ryō and An that she wants the truth about Arata cleared up as she has had a weird feeling about him. Ryō is unable to convince her otherwise, however An draws Chizuru's attention to the weird feelings behind her interest in Arata, asking if she became aware of them when An got close to him. She further suggests that Chizuru's interest in the truth, like her suspicions about An's relationship with Arata, might actually be due to her hoping that he is an adult because she is in love with him. She further adds to the diversion, by suggesting that for it would not make sense otherwise for Chizuru to suspect that Arata is a subject like herself, since as a support An should not have been getting as close to Arata as she had been doing if he were indeed a subject.

Confused by sudden pangs, Chizuru is unable to respond. An continues that while Chizuru has learned and grown a lot, she thinks Chizuru may not be seeing things clearly because she denies her feelings.

Afterwards, Ryō and An talk at Ryō's home, exhausted by the intense discussion. An reveals that her efforts at getting close with Arata had all along been for the purpose of making it look like Arata could not possibly be a ReLIFE subject. She then apologizes to Ryō for having immaturely blamed him for stealing Arata's support duties from her. The higher-ups at the company switched the subjects around due to Chizuru's lack of progress under Ryō's support. While An had wanted to be Arata's support all along, Ryō also wanted to keep supporting Chizuru, and An now understood it had been harder for him than it was for her.
