Summary
"Jun returns to his share house and tells Tomoru about the events of his day. Even though Reiji was kind to him, Jun feels like he got on his bad side..."

Location: Fantome Iris Share House

Tomoru: So that's what happened...

You got caught in the rain, tripped over an empty can and landed in a puddle of waterー

Jun: Don't make me hear it again! I'm so disappointed with myself!

Tomoru: Well, it's just the same old you.

And I suppose you couldn't refuse the invitation to go have a chat at the share house?

Jun: ...Yeah.

Tomoru: But the kid was from Epsilon Phi...that would've made Feli-san worried.

Jun: Felix-san?

Tomoru: I've yet to hear the full story...

Tomoru: ...What kind of person did Karasuma-kun seem like to you?

Jun: He speaks very politely, even to someone like me. He treated me kindly.

But sometimes it felt like he was looking at me like I was a piece of moldy bread...it was probably just my imagination...ahaha.

When he smiled it didn't feel real, and his eyes... they're cold and frightening.

It reminded me a little of my sister...somehow...

Tomoru: I see...

Jun: I'm so pathetic even though I'm an adult.

Tomoru: Yeah, I won't deny that.

Well...I can't say I'm much different...

But we all have our weaknesses, right?

Jun: ...Right.


Location: Shopping District

Jun: Hah...hah... I-I should've listened...

It wasn't supposed to rain!? It's been sunny until now!?

Jun: No, no...ugh, so unlucky...wah!?

(Splash)

Jun: Ouch...why is there a plastic bottle here... ugh, I'm getting deja vuー

Jun: ...


Reiji: You never learn, do you?

Jun: K-Karasuma-kun

Reiji: ...

Reiji: I can't understand you

Jun: Huh?

Reiji: You were born with both incredible talent and a lucky upbringing, so why did you turn your back on it all and let it go to waste?

Why would you come running back to something you once threw away?

Jun: I-I...

Reiji: Blaming it on bad luck seems to be one of your favorite things to do. 

Please don't joke around. You've got plenty of good luck.

And yet you can't even begin to understand how fortunate you are.

Jun: ...I...I'm sorry.

Reiji: Why are you apologising?

You've done nothing to upset me. There's no need to apologize.

 Summary
"Reiji is frustrated by how Jun runs away from his family and environment, and Tadaomi shares some shocking words."

Location: Epsilon Phi Share House

Tadaomi: ...Suzaki-san didn't try to become a pianist like his older sister.

Reiji: He participated in a number of competitions however there were no noteworthy outcomes to them.

Tadaomi: Hmm...how strange.

Reiji: His performance was weak. It seems he'd often find himself in trouble.

Even so, that doesn't change how blessed he was to be brought up in such an environment.

Tadaomi: ...

Reiji: He began playing guitar in his third year of middle school and never participated in another piano competition after that.

Later on he chose a path that would distance himself from music. 

After graduating university, he returned to the music industry as a salesman however he resigned a year later.

After that he became a shut in and got sucked into gaming.

Then his friend, Kurokawa Tomoru, invited him to join Fantome Iris...

Did he run away? Or was he simply unable to keep going?

He had both talent and a blessed upbringing...it's a funny story if you think about it.

Tadaomi: ...

...It sounds as if Reiji-kun is "jealous" of Suzaki-san and unable to forgive him.

Reiji: What? Me jealous of Suzaki Jun...?

Tadaomi: I know you well, after all, Reiji-kun.

He was talented from birth, and even had luck with the circumstances he was raised inー

But he threw it all away and said farewell to his musical journey.

Reiji: ...

Tadaomi: Ahh, that's right. He didn't say farewell, did he? "That person" gave up and let themselves waste away.

But, even so, in Reiji-kun's eyes it was an "escape"ー

Reiji: Don't act like you know what you're talking about!!

Tadaomi: ...

You're right, Reiji-kun. I'm sorry

Reiji: No...

...I have no thoughts in relation to Suzaki Jun. I fail to understand him.

(Reiji leaves)


Tadaomi: No thoughts...?

Why do humans lie, even to themselves?


Location: Fantome Iris Share House

Jun: I'm back...

Tomoru: There you are, Jun. You said you were only going out for a little while but it started getting late...oh?

Why's your hair so disheveled? You're clothes are covered in mud too. Did you fall over again?

Jun: Mud? ...Ah, you're right.

Ah, wait... I intruded while in such a state? I was sitting on that fancy looking sofa!?

Tomoru: Fancy? Intruded?

Jun: Well, earlierー
