Sensei meets Haruka Hamasaki, who owns the cafe where Rin works. After he gets his (unusually ordinary) drink, he talks to Rin, who gets the impression that he's attracted to Haruka. Rin informs him that Haruka is "totally devoted" to her husband, who is away in the war. As an alternative, Rin suggests that Futaba might be interested in Sensei, and that he should do something about it. Sensei is surprised that Rin is trying to hook him up with a student, but Rin says that if it makes both people happy, there's no reason to care about age difference. She admits that the school might not be so accepting, however.
