Summary[]
At the Daikou.com office, the president informs Kokon that Mari has made contact to request the termination of her contract. The president does want to get into legal trouble and since Mari has also transferred the rest of the fee, there was nothing more to discuss.
Kokon is stunned by Mari's decision and gets in contact with Mari right away to demand answers. Mari explains that her mother does not approve of Seki. Her mother spotted Seki walking Mari in the other day and got furious. Therefore, she will give up on Seki and love in general for the moment. Kokon attempts to persuade get Mari to reconsider, but Mari has given up. Her house is a mess right now, and her mother nearly found out about the agency requests after going through her drawers. Kokon tell Mari that the agency can also offer if it is family trouble.
Mari declines the offer, explaining that her mother is normally nice, but she is emotionally unstable due to a series of failed loves. Therefore, Mari needs to protect her and Kokon argues against it, saying that is codependency and Mari should muster her courage, or she will end up like a slave. Mari then snaps back at Kokon, telling her she has no right to talk about courage. Mari goes on to remind Kokon that she ran away, calls her a hikikomori who lacks the courage to attend school.
