After kissing Hiro, Kai reveals that he’ll be leaving soon due to the upcoming hospital discharge of the old man. He mentions that he’ll be moving out the following Sunday and asks Hiro what he wants him to do, but Hiro instructs him not to ask him. Kai reassures him that he’ll manage somehow since he saved up some money from his job. Hiro continues to worry despite this, which shows in his work when he makes mistakes. He glances at the calendar on his desk, which has a circle drawn on Sunday with a red pen, indicating Kai’s departure. He snaps out of it when his colleagues inform him that their meeting will be starting soon. Meanwhile, Kai pays another visit to the old man, bringing flowers, and encounters his son, Koji, outside as before. Koji appears to have given Kai permission to meet his father after learning of Kai’s lack of family from the old man. Koji begins telling the story of his father, who considered closing the store six years ago after his wife died. Initially planning to live together with Koji due to the store’s overwhelming demands, the old man suddenly changed his mind and decided to continue running the store. This decision was influenced by his encounter with a young Kai, whom he saw potential in and wished to support his growth. Since then, Koji and Kenji had grown distant because Kenji didn’t explain his decision and simply told Koji that he had decided to continue running the store. Koji apologizes for his childish behavior, realizing that Kai has experienced the same circumstances. Kai places the flowers he brought in a vase, despite the old man’s comment that it will be a hassle since he’s being discharged the next day. Kai anticipated this response but insisted it was to express his thanks for everything the old man had done. Kenji argues that he doesn’t recall doing anything worthy of thanks. Kai appears to want to say something more, but ultimately remains silent and instead bids goodbye and leaves.
On the day of their project’s release, Hiro and his colleagues gather in front of his computer. Once the distribution has successfully been completed, everyone is relieved and begins thanking each other’s efforts, especially Hiro who even took on Sakamoto’s share of work. Their boss enters at this moment and reminds them not to slack off, as they’ll have new projects starting next week. He reminds Hiro about their meeting tomorrow despite it being a Sunday. Hiyori suggests having a big drink tonight, but Hiro informs them that he’ll stay longer as he has things he wants to take care of. Hiyori believed they wouldn’t be able to pull it off with Kaneko and Sakamoto gone. Tatsumi mentions that this time it’s because of Hiro, and that if he disappears as well, it may be the end. Hiro comes to believe everything will work out regardless of who is gone. Even after Kai leaves, he will simply go back to his usual routine of waking up in the morning, eating, going to work, returning home, and sleeping. While walking home, he passes by the park and notices a bench. He begins to imagine himself sitting there with Kai, engaging in a fun conversation. He begins to rush home, knowing that he will undoubtedly look for Kai after he is gone. He begins to remember all of the times he was with Kai; every time he wakes up, Kai is the first person he sees. Kai would ask him if the food is to his taste whenever he eats. And whenever he looks at the balcony of his room, Kai is there to meet and welcome him home. When he opens the door, Kai will appear as if he has naturally become a part of his home. Hiro finds Kai sitting on the sofa, with dinner already prepared for him. Surprised by Hiro coming home early, Kai welcomes him home. Hiro reveals that it’s the day of the release and asks Kai if he’s going somewhere after seeing the pack of bags behind the sofa. Kai reveals that he will be moving out that day, confusing Hiro who thought he would be leaving tomorrow since the old man’s discharge is tomorrow. It seems Kai was allowed to stay in the shop until he could find his place. He ends by saying goodbye and adding that there’s no reason to be under his care any longer.
