Ryo reflects on the idea that dating Arie would be socially acceptable, but pursuing Ichika might pose challenges due to their age difference, causing him to second-guess his feelings. Meanwhile, Masuda, who is hanging out with Ryo at his apartment, urges him to stop being self-centered and strive to be a better person. Just then, Ryo's father comes back home, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.
