As the days passed, their cohabitation started to resemble that of a cohabiting couple. After work, Hazama would turn down invitations for drinks, deceive colleagues who suspected "her" presence, and return home early. Akane had already returned home and was cooking in her uniform and an apron. Akane, eating dessert after dinner, was teased by Hazama about getting fat. Having been told something she was a little concerned about, Akane considered going on a diet. Hazama then suggested having sex, saying it would be a form of exercise and make them both feel good.
