(This is called covering my cough)
In the barbershop where Naota was reunited with Haruko she told him of her adventure in space. "I'm not going to play games with you Takkun. The truth is I found Atomisk, but he had changed so much. I even began to think that Medical Mechanica had brainwashed him or something. That was until he recalled the moment we had first moments together." Haruko looked deeply into Naota's eyes and said, "I should have never toyed with you Takkun. I wanted to find Atomisk so badly that nothing would have stopped me. He used me. That jerk used me from the start! I tried to make him notice me and to love me back, but he didn't care. I was like an old toy to him, just a puppet for his escape." Haruko stood up while keeping her head down. Astonished by her terrible judgment she grins and says to Naota, "I guess I was the mouse this time, huh Takkun."
Naota felt sorry for Haruko and wanted to ask so many questions. He tried to think of the best thing he could do for her. He decided it would be to take her home and ignore Armarao's advice.
Naota and Haruko went to his home over the bakery, which was now closed. In Naota's room Haruko noticed he kept her guitar, which looked as good as, it did the day she left. She started questioning Naota about Mamimi and Canti. Naota explained that Mamimi left to become a photographer and that Canti left after her a couple months later.
That night before Naota was about to sleep he decided to ask Haruko about what had happened in space. Haruko didn't answer instead she stared at the ceiling and lay quietly in the top bunk.
Meanwhile across the street Kitsurubami was watching them and reported to Armarao of Haruko's presence. "Sir, I have just spotted the felon. She doesn't seem to be aware of my presence, and she is in the bedroom. It appears that she is sleeping. What action should I take sir?" Armarao is watching a video display of Kitsurubami's surveillance in his office. He takes a moment to respond to her. "You said Raharu isn't aware of you, right. So for now we'll just have to keep a close eye on them and see what their next move is."
Will our heroes love last or could it be another game. Will Armarao's men "take care of Haruko"? Find out in Part 4 "Within the Sniper's Scope"
