Plot[]
Back in school again after the fireworks festival Kazuomi tells Arata about his confession to Rena, but he listens with disinterest as it is not real news to him anymore. As Arata laments failing another round of retests, Kazuomi notes it is a shame since it is Arata's birthday too and gives him a bag of cookies as a present and thanks for his help with Rena. Arata is surprised not only by the fact that Kazuomi knew it his birthday, but also that he made the cookies himself and they are very good too.
Arata arrives home planning to spend his second eighteenth birthday, that is in truth twenty-eighth, drinking some sake by himself. Inside he is greeted by Ryō and An who have arranged a surprise party, however he does not appreciate the change in his plans too much.
After a few beers An is taking a nap, and Arata asks Ryō to confirm his impression that everyone will forget Ryō as well as An and himself at the end of the experiment. Ryō does so, and tries to wake An up in preparation for them to go home. As Arata asks him to make sure An gets home since he said they live close together when they were about to go home from the fireworks festival, however Ryō reveals it was a lie he told in order to arrange some time for Arata and Chizuru to be together.
Upon hearing this Arata gets angry at Ryō and criticizes him for refusing Chizuru's request to walk her home since they seemed to be getting along so well. Ryō clarifies that the only reason Chizuru held his arm was that he offered it for support as she was having difficulties walking wearing her yukata. Even so, in a serious tone Arata berates Ryō for his irresponsible behavior toward Chizuru in neglecting the fact that her memories of them will disappear.
