   Summary

   "I’m serious about us, you know? You’re not a dirty secret.”

   “I never accused-”

   “You didn’t; I’m accusing myself."

   ---

   After being together for a year, Togawa asks Nozue if he wants to move in together, but recieves an unexpectedly hesitant answer. It turns out Nozue is uncomfortable taking that step until they've officially revealed their relationship to the company; however, that means Nozue will be subjected to internal review, due to their past tenure as boss and subordinate, possibly losing him his job and social standing.

   Never having been apart more than a few days in nine years of knowing each other, they find solace in new friendships. Through one such connection a part of Nozue's past is revealed, and it sheds light on why he so desperately needs their relationship to be legitimized before committing to cohabitation.
