Erika confesses her feelings, saying, "I wanted to show them my worth. My fate and everything... because no one can save me," and tells Yukiya to be happy and forget about her. Yukiya says that he still remembers Erika smiling at him over and over, and presses him, asking, "What was that time about? What was that smile about?" He then reveals his feelings, saying, "You were everything to me back then," and leaves the room saying, "Goodbye."
