Synopsis

Sensei arrives at Noriko's dorm, hoping that she's alone so he can finally talk to her about him and Niki, although with little confidence that he won't just back down due to cowardice. After being let in, she mistakenly thinks he's there to collect on her promise from the other day, but he quickly corrects her and asks her to sit down so they can talk. Noriko, having already been on edge due to Kirin's shift in behavior towards her, is hesitant to do so but is convinced by Sensei's insistence.

Sitting on her bed together, Sensei first confirms that Noriko is aware of his real name and that she's been saying it the entire school year. Noriko expresses her confusion at the question, and Sensei reveals to her he only recently learned what his real name was, and hadn't ever heard anyone use it until now. This exacerbates Noriko's confusion, as she thinks he must've heard it from at least Ami or Niki, or seen it on official documents such as his bills – Sensei disconfirms each of these, though mentions Niki was the one he learned it from. He segues into this, saying that he needs to talk to her about what happened between them.

Hearing this, Noriko begins to panic and begs Sensei to just drop the topic entirely. He persists, telling her that, on top of his name, Niki helped him remember just how important the Nakayama sisters are to him, how they'll always be by his side, and how, even if he can't remember why, he made a mistake abandoning them all those years ago. He tells Noriko he wants to keep her close and that, to do so, he'll have to hurt her again – He confesses to having slept with Niki, and that he loves her. Noriko, at first, remains silent before suddenly bursting into a quick flurry of anger, yelling her feelings before abruptly shutting up. Sensei accepts this outburst, telling her it's fine to be mad at him, especially after all the times he's hurt her already. She assures him that she's more frustrated at herself for letting him leave during Christmas and that she is happy for the two of them, and that any anger she feels is mostly due to her getting her hopes up.

Sensei informs her he's done putting barriers up between the two of them, and that he's perfectly fine if things remain the way they are between them. Noriko reminds him about Niki, who Sensei considers a nonissue, as she'll always love him no matter what. He also takes the time to advise her that, while he won't push her away, she should drop him out of her life because it would undoubtedly be better for her; There are plenty of other people in the world that could treat her the way she deserves to be treated. Noriko tells him that he's wrong, that he's the reason she ever started changing in the first place, and that she wants to keep growing with him by her side.

Sensei accepts this and tells her he'll contact her soon, warning her one final time. She agrees and Sensei takes his leave, confident that if Noriko gets any closer to him now, she'll live a life full of mistakes.
