Report 187

Plot
An hears Chizuru's sobbing over the wiretap and gets up from her chair at the office to go to her, but is stopped by Ryō. He tells An not to interfere too much, as their subjects have to solve their problems themselves if they are to change, and An admits he is right.

In her report An writes that Chizuru finding the beer and cigarettes in Arata's apartment probably convinced her that he is also a ReLIFE subject. However, she does not believe it will become a problem for the experiment. An also writes that Chizuru's experiment took a step in the right direction with her finding answers about her feelings for Arata.

Arriving home, Chizuru falls on her bed crying, but soon receives a message from Arata, who apologizes for yelling at her and Chizuru in turn apologizes for her intrusiveness. Relieved that she replied to him, Arata writes another message to ask about her Chizuru's unfinished sentence just before she left but decides to send a more neutral message thanking her for her help instead, and Chizuru thinks he is being very nice to her despite it all being her fault.

Back in school, Rena and Kazuomi ask Arata and Chizuru about what happened after they left Arata's place. They are incredulous to hear Arata and Chizuru say they just continued studying and maintain that nothing of note happened even when Rena calls Chizuru out on her forced smile, which is a dead giveaway to the contrary.
