Volume 12 Bonus Report

Plot
After An told him how much it helped her when she called the ReLIFE Laboratory call center three years earlier, Ryō reminisces on that time, wondering if An was aware that he was the one she was talking to.

An made many calls, and Ryō noticed her start sounding more lively over time. At some point she wanted to know the name of the person she was talking to, but since it was against the call center staff rules, they decided to use pseudonyms instead. An chooses 'A' as hers, expecting Ryō to match it with 'B'. He responds by choosing 'Y' instead, however when An supposes it might be one of his initials he refrains from confirming or denying it.

Later, An was employed by ReLIFE Laboratory and eventually transferred to the Support division. As she and Ryō met they both suspected that they might have been talking over the phone earlier. Ryō is bound by company rules not to ask An directly, but looking back at his time at the call center he feels happy to think that 'A' would have become a Support division member.
