Plot

The neighbor is still lying on the floor, bleeding from his head, but he is conscious. Even though she doesn't know what the neighbor is like, Yuki is willing to help him. Itsuomi comes over to check on him.

At that moment, he gets up. While he is being interrogated by Itsuomi, the mysterious neighbor refuses. Yuki, who has gone to get her phone, brings him kitchen paper to clean the blood, and puts the front camera on him so that he can see himself.

The neighbor grabs Yuki's hands, scaring Yuki and Itsuomi. Itsuomi puts his hands between the neighbor and Yuki to protect her, as well as get the neighbor's attention.

Yuki tells Itsuomi that his lip reading will be difficult, and that for the moment, she will hide the fact that she can't hear since she doesn't know the neighbor's character.

Since Yuki doesn't know what he's saying, he just nods his head, which baffles the neighbor and Yuki herself, who doesn't know if she's done something wrong.

For unknown reasons, Yuki and Itsuomi accompany the neighbor downstairs, puzzling Yuki about where the three of them are going together, although she thinks they are going downstairs to wait for the ambulance, but Itsuomi tells her that he told him that his brother lives nearby, and that he will accompany you to the hospital. He also apologizes for not letting her use sign language, and that they come home to talk, while Itsuomi sees someone.

It turns out that the neighbor's brother is a friend of his, Tasuku. He is excited to know that he is the one who has helped his brother.

When asked, Itsuomi responds that they are fellow backpackers. Tasuku excitedly responds that he is the person he admires the most, and asks who she is, referring to Yuki.

Elsewhere, Shin is with Ôshi. Shin has cut his hair and given it a different style, something that doesn't convince Ôshi. Shin tells him that whenever he wants to cut his hair, he should go to him. Ôshi asks if Itsuomi also does it, to which Shin affirms that he does.

Shin also tells him how he met Itsuomi. He had returned from Germany, and had caused a stir in his class because of his appearance. Shin, on the other hand, liked to be alone. The first time he saw him he was eating a fish cake, which happened to be from Shin's family.

Although Shin hadn't spoken to him, it caught his attention. Shin thinks that he caught his attention because he was alone, so Itsuomi started questioning him. Telling him that he knows he wants to be a stylist, Itsuomi offers to be his guinea pig, just like Emma does.

Shin, jealous that Emma notices him, tells him what would happen if he cut his hair, to which Itsuomi bursts out laughing, and replies that the worst thing would be if he shaved it off. Shin realized that even though he seemed out of place, Itsuomi resonated with people.

Shin decides to ask Ôshi about his feelings towards Yuki, and if he plans to stay away from her. Seeing that Ôshi wants to make that decision, he makes him think about it. Ôshi looks like he's going to do it.
