Subaru heads into his living room to find Haru curled up asleep in front of the window. She looks so comfortable napping in the sun's rays that Subaru can't resist stretching out on the floor nearby to read some reference materials, but he soon falls asleep. Then he starts to dream about his own chidhood… Meanwhile, Haru wakes up and sees Subaru sleeping, so she decides to prepare some food for him. She finds a can of cat food in the kitchen, but as she's struggling to get the food out of it, someone suddenly appears behind her!

Ones Who Can't Be Controlled
Subaru and Kawase are having a meeting at Subaru's house to discuss cover designs and promotions for the upcoming print release of Subaru's novel. Kawase says there's been strong demand from a store owner to hold an autograph signing event, but the antisocial Subaru is repulsed by the idea and refuses. Then, suddenly, the doorbell rings, and Subaru's house is overrun with children!
What Connects Us
After accompanying Subaru to Nana's apartment to return her key, Haru had an emotional reunion with her younger brother, Hachi. Then, suddenly, a man with a scary face busts into the room! He turns out to be Nana's younger Yugo, and despite his large stature, Haru is relieved to see Hachi and Roku happily playing with him. Then Subaru spots a magazine called Polaris in Yugo's bag—the very magazine that's serializing Subaru's novel.
What I Want to Tell You
The distance between Subaru and Haru is slowly shrinking. Since the vet said Haru was slightly overweight, Nana visits Subaru's home to share her advice on cat diets. Subaru enthusiastically listens to all kinds of tips he'd never heard before on correct feeding amounts, a trick to feed using a drink bottle, and more. Haru seems to enjoy this new game, as well. Eventually, Nana takes her leave, but she forgets her house key, so Subaru hurries to return it to her…
