After a terrible prank, Nakai begins drinking and becomes delusional, believing that Aokoi is the cause of his troubles.
In the meantime, Aokoi is enjoying a phone call with Hiramaru; however, a very drunk and angry Nakai arrives at her apartment building, wanting to face her. Hiramaru convinecs Aokoi to stay inside while he hurries over; Aokoi refused to involve the police for Nakai's sake.
