◇The following contains spoilers
Seiji has been staying at home and not going to work recently. He called Kawahara (Ayumu Nakajima) at night and encouraged him, saying, "When is the wedding? I asked you to help push Aimi forward because she's not good at making decisions."
When Kawahara hesitated, saying, "I'm still not sure about my feelings...", Seiji snapped, "What good will that do you? If you can't even handle something as big as marriage, you'll never get a position in the company!"
When Kawahara pointed out to Seiji, "Dad, are you sure? You're the executive in charge of harassment, aren't you?", Seiji yelled, "A society where people are so scared of harassment that they can't even say what they want to say is ruining companies and society! Do you get it?" and hung up the phone.
Later, Seiji's wife Sanae (Tsutsui Mariko) asks him if he's taking a week off from work and asks, "Isn't that going to be a problem?" Seiji loudly denies it, saying, "I'm not in a position where something like that would shake me!" However, Kawahara's investigation reveals that Seiji has been sued for power harassment by a subordinate and is on standby at home.
On social media, the topic became a hot topic, with comments such as "He was sued for power harassment by his subordinate?! Of course he was, lol," "He was sued for power harassment by his subordinate, lol, I bet lol," "He's the executive in charge of harassment - it's just laughable, lol," and "He was sued for power harassment after all! Of course he was!"
