Synopsis
In the cubicle, Legoshi and Haru wait for the guards to walk away. After the guards walk away, Haru says to get out but Legoshi stops him and asks if he now feels that his life is in danger, Haru feeling Legoshi's deep voice. With his kind personality, he ends up reproaching Legoshi for his attitude.

Later, both sit in a park and talk about trivial things to mislead the animals around. Legoshi tries to tell him that it was he who attacked her that night, but Haru went ahead and tells him that once it was almost eaten by an unknown carnivore, revealing that she lied when she told him that she did not remember how she had been injured. She exclaims that she was happy to have survived, since if she had died he would not have known Legoshi, saying that he did not feel that his life was in danger when they were in the bath. Legoshi decides not to tell her that it was he who attacked her. As they return to school, Legoshi thanks Haru for saving him, as she decides to be more careful from now on.

At the drama club, while in rehearsal Louis receives a scratch from Bill on his hand by accident, alerting the other members of the club. Louis goes to his dressing room to tend to the wound and Bill escorts him to help him, which Louis suspects. In the dressing room, he cheerfully highlights how often Louis hurts himself, claiming that it must be hard being a fragile herbivore for him. Louis tells him to stop beating around the bush and Bill tells him he was at the Black Market and that he discovered Louis's secret, exclaiming that it is a very bad secret. Bill tells him that he is not trying to threaten him but that he wants them to be "the same". Louis responds by pointing a gun at Bill, and orders him to lie down on the floor, Louis tells Bill that now his life is in his hands and he threatens him by telling him to kill him if he tells someone his secret. Standing on Bill, Louis demands that he dare to tell him that they are the same, Louis keeps his gun and leaves the room maintaining his superiority, while Bill remains paralyzed on the ground.
