Report 120

Plot
Previously An and Ryō wanted to confirm from Kento what will happen to Arata's and Chizuru's memories of each other. An hoped they would remain intact since neither of them is a student; however, while he did not say it out loud, Ryō was quite certain they will forget each other since the drug affects memories of the subject, no matter whose they are. Kento did not know for sure as there was no precedent, but he also believed their memories would be lost.

An is doubting their actions of bringing Arata and Chizuru together when it seems inevitable that the only thing they will forget is each other, so they will not have a chance to find each other after the experiment either. She is taking it hard, and though Ryō reminds her that it was done for Chizuru's personal development and the success of her ReLIFE, An fears what will happen to her afterwards, suspecting she may return to her old way of living in isolation.

Ryō comforts her, saying that it is a part of their job, that she has done the best she can do, and that she must not have regrets in order to be able to support Chizuru. However, he also tells her it is good that she shows she is worried. Ryō thinks to himself that he has no regrets, but he still dreams Arata and Chizuru might not have to forget each other.

Later, Chizuru is lying awake in her bed, pondering how she cannot stop thinking about whether Arata is an adult even though there is no way for her to find the truth. She then remembers Ryō noting how she has started to show interest in others and An's suggestion that her interest in Arata is due to her having fallen in love with him, and is struck by the realization that it might actually be true.

Despite all the difficulties, in his last report on Chizuru Ryō writes he is grateful that he had the chance to be her support and that he believes she is going to show a major change.
