Retsuko death metal screams while in pain,"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Suko's ears perk up and his eyes open quickly. He lifts his head and looks at a shocked Gori, Washimi, and manager. Retsuko runs around in a large circle around the room, death metal screaming about her hands with a very profane vocabulary. She stops and holds her hands out, they are red and puffed up a little.
Suko takes the warm rag off of his neck and stands up. He walks towards Retsuko and places the rag on her hands and her head turns to him as she screams louder, her hands stinging. Suko holds her hands together and soon she finds them hurting less.
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhh," Retsuko sighs in relief and Suko grabs a cold bottle out of a refrigerator in the corner of the karaoke room and places it on her hands. The swelling soon goes down. He then types in his phone 'You feel better?' and shows the words to Retsuko. She nods 'yes' and says,"But it stings a little." Suko nods and walks towards the manager.
'Time to shut the place down.' He mouths and the manager nods.
"Ok ladies, we're closing for the night," the manager says and opens the door and holds it open from the outside of the room.
Retsuko exits and says thanks to the manager for opening the door. Gori and Washimi follow a relieved Retsuko. Retsuko goes to the train station and rides her way home. Gori and Washimi part ways with Retsuko at the train station after making sure she gets on the train, since it is really late at night.
Retsuko returns home and goes to her bed and thinks, my secret is safe with Suko. I'm so glad.
She smiles and drifts off to sleep.
Meanwhile at Fenneko's place, Fenneko looks through social media posts and posts as an anonymous user to a group of people that all worked at the accounting office, excluding haida and including Retsuko. The post says Haida is a singer, he sings sad and depressing songs, how he truly feels on the inside.
Retsuko receives a notification about the post, but she is already asleep.
