Page one:
Ainosuke becomes progressively more stressed at the day goes on. Tadashi watches on.

Page 2:
Ainosuke has dinner with his aunts while Tadashi watches on. Tadashi thinks: "When was the last time we went to S?" Later on, AInosuke is woken up by Tadashi. "Ainosuke-sama." Ainosuke asks: "What's the next meeting..." Tadashi replies: "It's been rescheduled. I took the liberty."

Page 3:
Tadashi and Ainosuke discuss the status of S, and Tadashi suggests an alternative. Ainosuke says: "S..." Tadashi replies: "is still closed due to police activity. It maybe a few more weeks. May I suggest an alternative distraction?" Ainosuke grits his teeth.

Page 4:
Ainosuke pauses. "You cancelled my meetings without consulting me, you must have something planned. Out with it." Tadashi replies, "I'll tell you later...hopefully it will be sufficiently relaxing." He hands Ainosuke a towel. Ainosuke takes the towels and says, "Surprise me, then."

Page 5:
Tadashi looks concerned and says, "Your hair-" Ainosuke looks over his shoulder while taking his shirt off. "I'll dry it. I'm not a child. Go on." Tadashi leaves with, "I'll take my leave." Ainosuke undresses and and gets into the bath. The caption reads "Was it always this awkward?"

Page 6:
Ainosuke continues thinking while lounging in the bath. "Well, at least he took the initiative. Ever since the funeral beef, we're getting closer to healing the rift. But some days...it seems wider than ever. Can't tell if we're better with our masks on or off. Which side is the real one?"
