"How many times must I repeat myself, hmm? Hanagaki Takemichi-kun."
"Huh?...Boss?" Takemichi questioned.
"Put the DVDs back on display as soon as they're returned. Haven't I told you a thousand times?"
"...I'm at work?" Takemichi questioned as he looked around.
'Huh? What?! Wait...What's going on!? Where's Naoto?!'
"Ah! My phone!"
'No matter how hard I search, I can't find news of Hina's death anywhere!' Takemichi thought as he scrolled on his phone.
"Takemichi Hanagaki-kun? Are you slacking off?"
"Ah! Sorry."
-----
'All that happened...Was all that time-leap stuff just a dream?' Takemichi wondered as he organized DVDs.
"Ack." He said as he dropped some DVDs.
Ba-dump
'No...That was no dream...!' Takemichi thought, looking down at his hand.
'This scar...It's from when Kiyomasa-kun stabbed me!'
"Hey! Hanagaki-kun?!"
"Sorry! I'm taking the day off!" Takemichi said as he ran out.
"HUH?!"
'I don't get it! Wasn't I fired from that job?!'
"Why isn't Naoto's number on my phone?! Dammit! What the hell's going on?!" He said as he looked at his phone.
"Hm? A scheduled alert...beauty salon?"
'What's this?'
-----
"Here?" Takemichi questioned as he made it to the location.
"See you." A man said.
"See you tomorrow!" Another said as they bowed.
"Make sure to lock up when you're done cleaning, Sendo."
Takemichi's eyes widened.
"Yes sir!"
At the sight of a plum-haired man, tears formed in Takemichi's eyes.
"Akkun!" He shouted, relief in his voice.
The plum-haired man turned his head to see the black-haired man.
"Yo." The male said, but sighed at the other male's tears.
"What's your problem, Takemichi? Don't yell like that. Come in already." He waved his hand, stepping inside the building as the other man quickly followed.
Takemichi took a seat as Akkun vacuumed.
"Just sit tight 'til I'm finished cleaning," Akkun said.
"Okay..." Takemichi said. "Akkun...did you...become a hairstylist?"
"Huh? I'm still in training! I told you I was just an assistant. My boss has me stuck doing menial labor every single day! I called you here today because next month, I'll finally be allowed to cut people's hair and I wanted a haircut model." Akkun said.
"So, you'll be my first customer! You know, like we promised?" He grinned.
Takemichi teared up.
"What? You didn't forget, did you?"
