Synopsis
Sensei and Io rest next to the passed-out Uta, another collapse in what Sensei feels like will be a night full of them. Thankfully, his own collapse was saved by Io's intervention, something he both appreciates and hates her for – For if she hadn't intervened, he could've disappeared and made everyone's life easier. He thinks next of Io's inevitable collapse and how she may be already fallen due to the many ways she attempts to push herself down. He makes a mental tally of all the things Io has done wrong and struggles to understand how she can possibly see beauty in ugliness and ugliness in beauty. At the very least, the thought makes him feel young again, even if it doesn't make him feel comfortable.
Io speaks up, ensuring Sensei that Uta will awaken soon. Sensei quips about Io's apparent immunity to what shocked Uta so hard but tries to move on before he makes her more uncomfortable. She tells him that she doesn't want to make it seem like she's forcing him to change, only that she wants him to change. She also states that it goes both ways and that there is no way Sensei would accept her as she is now. He agrees with this somewhat, and Io proudly states that while the two of them may suck for the rest of their lives, at least they know all they can about each other. Sensei doubts this. The conversation shifts as he subtly hints at something bothering him, prompting Io to encourage him to confide in her. He doesn't do so, not enjoying how open he's been recently. She likens his situation to a jacket decorated with patches and how the more you add to them, the gaudier and more flashy you become, making it nearly impossible to simply blend into the background.
Feeling comfortable, Io starts to worry she'll fall asleep, something Sensei assures her is fine since he'll wait till both she and Uta are awake before trying to leave. Additionally, he's glad that Io's content with something so simple. She warns him that he's starting to open up, which he denies, clarifying that he just enjoys how simple things with her are. Io doesn't believe this and says she'll understand if he just admits he abhors the type of person she is and is annoyed or even disgusted by her constant deflections. He explains that he's been pushy with her not because he dislikes her, but simply because that's the way he's always connected with people and that he keeps defaulting back to it because it's what's comfortable. Io reminds him their relationship isn't something he alone has to strengthen and thanks him for being honest with her, content that her imaginary worst-case scenario was wrong. She segues from this to reiterate her view on her and Sensei's relationship and outright clarify how disgusting she finds certain types of intimacy, barely able to even talk about them without feeling sick. Telling her to stop, they instead talk about things Io is comfortable with and she apologizes once again for not having what Sensei needs. It's due to this "flaw" that she brings up the same proposal she gave Uta back on during Christmas, stating it's the only realistic solution to their problem. Sensei is shocked to hear this and tries to get her to see another way, but the two are interrupted by Uta waking up.
Upon seeing he's still here, Uta is embarrassed and pretends to go back to sleep to avoid talking to him. Sensei returns home, avoiding thinking even deeper about tonight's conversation, as he feels it would just make him sick.
