When it’s finally time to leave behind Chief Kosugi’s controlling company, Shizuka and Kencho are ready to go. But it’s not the same with Tendo, who is still overwhelmed by what Kosugi had told him the previous day and feels that he needs to pay for the kindness he has received from the Chief. Furthermore, Kosugi has been successful in manipulating him and instilling the idea that he won’t be able to survive in the uncertain world outside, so it’s better for him to just stay put at Kosugi’s company where daily survival is almost guaranteed.

Therefore, Tendo tells his friends that he will not go with them. Although Kencho is shocked, Shizuka does not even try to convince him and accepts his decision.

She explains that she has spent her whole life trying to live according to people who had told her what she needed to do. This manipulation has ruined her life as she has always lived according to someone else.
