Kawahara is told by Manami's father, Seiji (Yoshi Sakou), to move forward with the marriage as soon as possible. Sensing something strange about Seiji's behavior, Kawahara believes it goes beyond being overprotective, and begins his own investigation. He discovers that Seiji has been sued for power harassment by a subordinate, is currently on standby at home, and is likely facing pressure to resign.
Kawahara revealed Seiji's current situation to Manami. "I think the reason your father is pushing you so hard to get married is because he wants you to decide on your marriage before he gets forced out of the company. I'm a company employee too, so I understand how your father feels. Because the more successful you are, the more painful it is to fall from grace," he said, showing understanding for Seiji's actions.
As Manami held her head in her hands, Kawahara advised her, "I think you should have a proper talk with your father."
Kawahara has been called a "terrible guy" for things like punching the host Kaworu (played by Raul) on a footbridge, pushing him off, and then walking away. However, this rare instance of Kawahara acting sensibly sparked discussion on social media, with comments such as "Kawahara something said, 'I think you should have a proper talk with your dad,' which is the most sensible thing he's ever said," "Kawahara advised him to talk to his dad once. This was the moment he seemed sensible. Is something changing inside Kawahara?" and "Sometimes he makes a good move."
