Detailed Summary
Habara is walking alone in a park when she notices Karasawa. He is walking towards a descending set of stairs while looking at his mobile phone. Happy to have found him, she starts to call out to him. Just then, he reaches the edge of the stairs and catches his foot on a concrete slab that’s blocking the path. He trips and begins to fall over the edge.

Shock registers on Habara’s face. She immediately springs into action, leaping forward with outstretched hands towards Karasawa. They both go over and several crashing noises ensue. The two end up collapsing, prone, at the foot of the stairs.

Karasawa props himself up on his arms and notices to his shock that there’s a trail of blood nearby. It leads to Habara, who lies motionless at some distance from him with a pool of blood under her face. He calls out to her anxiously, but receives no response.

The next scene shows a hospital, and then a corridor inside. In a room at the end, Habara is sitting up in a bed with her arms folded and her eyes closed. Karasawa is seated next to the bed. Habara’s head is bandaged with stitches holding them in place and her left leg is enclosed in a plaster cast.

She turns to Karasawa with an unusually wide grin and expresses relief that he wasn’t hurt at all. Karasawa seems subdued and says nothing, with beads of sweat forming on his face. She then straightens her injured leg and slams it on to the bed in glee, startling him. She once again says she’s glad he wasn’t hurt at all, and proceeds to cackle in unbridled amusement.

Karasawa’s face, in stark contrast, transforms into a hollow mask of fear, as sweat continues dripping down his face. Outside the room, Ikushima and Yanagin are watching the event unfold. Yanagin, seemingly reacting to Habara’s laughter, remarks that it was a happy ending after all. Ikushima, however, reads the situation as a whole and tells Yanagin that it was more of an unhappy ending.
