Hiroki (Kei Tanaka) leaves home after telling Miu (Matsumoto) "Make Shiori happy." At a coffee shop, he tells Asaoka, "I thought I would feel better if I left home and was alone."
Asaoka told Hiroki, "Well, it's not that easy to get rid of it all neatly." He continued, "Well, maybe only the good memories will remain. Those kind of memories are hard to find a place to put them."
"What should we do with these precious things?" Hiroki asked. Asaoka sympathized, "Hmm. Even if we keep it here, it will still get damaged. Ah, it's difficult."
On social media, comments such as "As expected of the Master, only good memories remain", "When he said, 'It's hard to find a place to put good memories,' the only person I can trust is our Master", "I really love how Master said, 'Those kind of things (good memories), it's hard to find a place to put them,' I love my Master, it's so tasteful", "There were a lot of difficult times...but Master helped me feel better. Thank you", and "The Master is the only one who's sane" were spreading.
