"The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed." - Eminem

In the evening, Eddy went back home and went to his basement, where a man is fixing something.

"The glasses you gave me." Eddy said, "They're not bad."

"Thanks." The guy muttered.

"C'mon, Adam, my brother." Eddy said, "I'm giving you some compliment. Look at me with some pride and say 'yay!'."

"What do you want now?" Adam asked sarcastically, "Have you found the person you wanted?"

"Yes, and don't talk to me in that tone, Adam." Eddy shook his head, "I'm your older brother, just to let you know. So don't be disrespectful."

Adam stood up and glared at Eddy, "I've lost all respect for you ever since you threatened me, something you're still doing right now."

"That's the way to get you to do what I want and need to do." Eddy replied, "Tomorrow at nine, I'd better see the glasses working."

Eddy then walked up and away from the basement. Adam clenched his fists and punched the table angrily.

Episode 7

After work, Megumi and Eriri started cleaning up the office. Eriri tidied the office rooms while Megumi is mopping the kitchen floor.

"That Utaha Kasumigaoka has been doing nothing to help us after work time." Eriri grumbled.

"She has her own problems, Eriri." Megumi said, "It's six months, but she hasn't gotten over Masaru. That's because she really loves him, and I heard Masaru doesn't want to fix the relationship. That's probably why she's feeling quite sad."

"That doesn't give her an excuse to not help us." Eriri replied, "She's a Blessing Software core member. I can understand Tomoya not doing anything as he's the boss, but Utaha Kasumigaoka not helping us is some bullshit."

"Whatever, Eriri. We should just clean this place and lock it up. It's getting late."

"You're right."

At night, in Tomoya's home, Tomoya discussed with Megumi about the company matters.

"So, we'll entrust Eddy with the coding, Megumi?" Tomoya asked. She nodded her head, "I find his skills great."

"By the way, what is Masaru working as now?"

"He's working at a clothing shop as a salesman." Megumi replied.

"Didn't you try to convince him to come back to Blessing Software?"

"He doesn't want to. He's filled with guilt."

"But I don't trust this Eddy guy." Tomoya said, "He gives me this feeling that he's not sure of what he's doing. At least if Masaru were to come in and help us, I would be assured. But this is a new person we're talking about. What happens if he screws up? And he tarnishes the company's name?"

"Give him a chance, Tomoya-kun." Megumi responded, "We haven't seen him do anything that threatens the company. Besides, you're thinking too much."

"Hopefully I am." Tomoya laid his head on his bed.

In George's house, he and Masaru are eating dinner in his living room.

"When's the first day of your work?" George asked.

"Well, it's two days later." Masaru chewed his rice, "Are you coming down to see me work?"

"Of course, Mr Kobayashi!" George exclaimed, "I must support my best friend on his first day in his new workplace! Where's the location though?"
