She attempts to strike up a conversation with Io, something she's incredibly uncomfortable with, especially when Yumi turns out to be a lot more reasonable than she expected.

Synopsis

Sensei knocks on the door of Room 7, intending to hang out with Io and prove to himself he can keep his promise from last time. However, he is instead greeted by Uta, who has shifted into her "Uta-chan" mode. After he confirms he's here for Io, much to her disappointment, he explains he needs to discuss her proposal with her. Uta's surprised she told him about it and expresses her own concern with the idea, believing that it'd just lead to one of them getting hurt. Uta ends up getting flustered as the conversation continues though and tells Sensei that Io's gone over to Yuki's apartment before abruptly returning to her room to hide her embarrassment. Having nothing else to do, Sensei returns home, surprised that Uta is the one uncomfortable with Io’ idea when, a few a months back, it would’ve been the other way around.

Meanwhile, Io finds herself in front of Yuki's apartment, starting to feel awkward about showing up unannounced and with bags full of food. Just as she decides to go home instead, Yumi shows up, also here to visit Yuki. She attempts to strike up a conversation with Io, something she's incredibly uncomfortable with, especially when Yumi turns out to be a lot more reasonable than she expected. She invites Io into the apartment and, while she initially declines on account of Yumi's history of violence, she's persuaded to stay when Yumi makes it clear that she learned her lesson and has no intention to hurt anyone who won’t hurt her.

The two step into the apartment, which Io finds to be much nicer than she anticipated. Yumi quips the charm would wear off if she actually lived here before directing Io to the fridge so she can store all the groceries she's brought. She also asks Io to retrieve a water bottle for her, which she refuses to do, claiming that Yumi shouldn't mooch off someone else's hard work.
