Plot
Chizuru recalls the times she has asked Arata to touch her so she can learn about her feelings for him and how uneasy he was with her requests, unknown to her being under the impression that she just wanted to satisfy her curiosity. She apologizes to Arata, and thinking to herself that with Arata she seems to become someone different from her usual self Chizuru tells him she looked through his apartment because she wanted to know more about him. She is about to tell him the reason but stops mid-sentence as she realizes what she is about to say is that she is in love with Arata.

As the truth hits her. Chizuru apologizes to Arata and runs out of the apartment. Arata collapses, reproaching himself for basically assaulting her. He recalls Chizuru's unfinished sentence and thinks to himself that he really wanted to hear what she had to say, wishing they would have met under conditions where it would be possible for them to be together.

Running away from Arata's apartment, Chizuru recalls him telling her that she would come to realize it with time when she falls in love, and An asking her if confessing her feelings to Arata is really meaningless just because they will eventually be separated. She stops and thinks about the cruel contradictoriness of her reality, as she realizes that she just wants to be with Arata more and more but it is a wish that will not be granted. On the other hand she is glad that Arata is most likely a ReLIFE subject as he had beer and cigarettes in his apartment, however it also means that he will be erased from her memories when his experiment ends. Realizing that despite this she can no longer run away from the truth that she is in love with Arata, Chizuru breaks down in tears.
