Niki is busy, but agrees to meet Sensei at a hotel after her concert. They talk about her casual-mode appearance, the hardships of the idol industry, and loneliness. They end up kissing. Niki finds that he is still able to make her happy, although she doesn't want to go too far yet, and postpones any returning of the favor. She falls asleep afterwards — Sensei thinks about staying the night, but is dissuaded by a barrage of texts from Ami.
