Faithful Shin brings Akira's favorite foods to the nursing home to which Akira has recently been admitted. Akira thinks, "I'm going to miss seeing Shin every morning and evening, but I feel so unworthy that I won't tell him so until the end of episode 8."

Hoping to comfort the depressed Akira, Shin pats the hand that is outside the bed covers.
Although weakened with age, Akira can still bellow "NANi desu ka? Do you want the nurses to think that I'm in a relationship with a younger man?"
