Plot
Arata finds Ryō behind his door, and comes up with an excuse for taking the pill. Ryō teases him about it, and revealing that he has already brought with him all the things Arata needs for school, suggests they finish the conversation from last night.

Inside, Ryō tells Arata what he needs to know about the ReLIFE experiment. As he presents him with the contract for his signature, Ryō tells Arata about one more of its features. To avoid the inconsistencies that would result from planting a fake 17-year old in a real high school class for a year, everyone who comes into contact with the subject during the experiment will have their memories of the subject erased after the experiment ends. Arata on the other hand will get to keep his memories, with one exception: the experiment will end immediately if anyone finds out anything about it, and Arata’s memories will be erased as well.

Arata still finds the whole thing unreal but agrees to participate in the experiment without reservations. While signing the contract, he thinks to himself that breezing through one year of high school should be an easy way to land a good job - he has already graduated from high school once, after all.
