Detailed Summary
Habara is thinking about Karasawa's strange mannerisms around her. She observes that whenever she approached him from behind, he’d detect her and turn around before she even called out to him. When she talked to him face-to-face, he would always leave his hands loose by his sides.

If they sat together on a bench, it wouldn’t be next to each other. Instead, Karasawa would always put some distance between them. And if she happened to laugh loudly, he would begin to sweat profusely.

Further, if she placed her hand on his shoulder, his immediate reaction would be to reach for the ballpoint pen in his shirt pocket. Whenever she returned him anything she had borrowed from him, he would instantly spray it with something from a can. Habara is shown to be walking behind Ikushima and Yanagin while she recollects all this. Putting all the evidence together, she wonders if it might be that Karasawa harboured some special feelings towards her.

She stops in her tracks, embarrassed. Turning aside, she forces herself to stop thinking like that, and is sure she’s misunderstanding things. Ikushima and Yanagin, observing her and somehow having figured out her train of thought, remark that she was right about Karasawa’s feelings – in a way.
