Sensei is reminiscing on how he can do anything he wants and how he has been mostly successful at that. He soon comes across Uta in the same crosswalk from a similar nightly encounter and decides to replicate the conversation from that night. After realizing the similarities, Uta is surprised he even remembers it and contributes this to Uta-Chan being so memorable. Sensei asks if she's free tonight, and Uta, unable to say no to him, accepts his invitation to return to their spot.
Having arrived at the gazebo, Sensei notices Uta is off from her usual self. He thinks back to his recent encounter with Io and how she confronted him about Uta's picture, and expects Uta to do the same. Uta asks how he's been, and he tells her he has a daughter now, having to clarify that it's Ami when Uta completely misunderstood him and revealed a concerning interaction with her at the Maid Cafe. He asks her for more information about that, fearing Ami might be acting strange again, but Uta changes the subject to Io, stating she's been acting weird, and asks if Sensei has seen her recently. Sensei denies seeing her, but is worried to hear that Io didn't tell her about his last visit.
He hopes this means Uta doesn't know about the picture, but that hope is shattered when she asks if he has anything else to say to her, only for him to asks for a moment of silence. After thinking about how Uta ended up clinging to someone like him, he decides to make it easier for himself and allows Uta to ask him whatever she wants, which she accepts.
First, Uta wants to know Sensei's opinion on Uta-Chan and Uta Ushibori. Sensei sees Uta-Chan as a perfect version of her that's fun to be around yet infuriating at the same time, whereas Uta Ushibori is a mess of a girl who needs another persona to function and is too compassionate for her own good, yet he likes her a lot more than Uta-Chan.
Next, Uta asks how Sensei got her pictures, and Sensei, after clarifying he only has one, reveals he got it from an unknown number, which she was afraid of since it means it might never stop. He apologizes letting this secret come to light and even having the picture in the first place, but Uta reminds him that she took and shared those pictures, and she's still as dumb as she was back then, because while she's somewhat grossed out by this fact, she's also weirdly happy with it, though only in his case. Sensei is surprised by her reaction, as he expected her to completely cut ties with him, but she tells him that she likes him to a degree where she would wait for his return even if he would do the same to her. She also begs him to not let Io learn about her feelings regarding this matter, because Io seems to expect her to be mad about it.
Finally, Uta asks if Sensei needs help, wanting to help him change who he currently is. Sensei doesn't understand why everyone wants to help him and why no one will hold him accountable for his actions, getting more and more agitated as he goes on, much to Uta's shock. Suddenly, she embraces him in a hug, telling him she has no room to judge him since she's as messed up as he is. He warns her that she's doing a great mistake wanting to be close to him, but she doesn't care, only wanting a future with him.
