Before going to work, Ichika visits Ayaka in her hospital room. She sits beside Ayaka in bed eating the breakfast she's brought home, but midway through, she hurriedly gets up and exclaims, "Oh no! I'm going now."
Ayaka said, "It's fine. If you're busy, you don't have to force yourself to come," to which Ichika replied with a smile, "I'm not forcing myself. I just want to see you." Ayaka replied, "Wow, that's gross," and the two of them laughed.
Just before leaving the hospital room, Ichika started to say something to Ayaka, but then she gave a fake smile and said, "See you later." After seeing Ichika off, Ayaka's expression became one of deep thought.
Speculation is growing that Hayase's (Matsuyama Kenichi) wife, Natsumi (Yamaguchi Sayaka), is rebooting into Ichika.
On social media, people were talking about the incident, saying things like, "Does Ayaka, Ichika's younger sister, suspect that Ichika isn't her real sister...?" "I also found it strange that Ichika's younger sister had a strange expression on her face as she watched Ichika leave the hospital room. Maybe she actually realizes that her sister is a different person," "Ichika's younger sister must have noticed that Ichika rebooted," and "Ichika's younger sister had a sullen look on her face after Ichika left. Her attitude is so different that there must be something going on."
The drama is a suspense story about Hayase Riku, who is framed for the murder of his wife, abandoning his family and past, rebooting himself into the face of corrupt detective Gido, and pursuing the real culprit.
