Ogata (Hiromitsu Kitayama) continued to support Asa, who had lost her unborn child, and their relationship slowly began to change. As Asa was getting ready for a date with Ogata, her ex-husband Tetsuya suddenly showed up at her house.
"Don't forget me." Holding a kitchen knife, Tetsuya threatened Asa, "If you make a sound, I'll stab you," and forced his way into her room.
"Do you know why I jumped? I thought maybe I could tie Asa up if I died," Tetsuya began, expressing his "love" for his ex-wife. "You mustn't forget me, Asa! Right?!" Tetsuya, now switched into high gear, put his hands around Asa's neck.
"Asa, I love you..." Tetsuya said, tightening his grip. Just then, Ogata rushed in, stopping Tetsuya and saving Asa.
On social media, comments included: "Tetsuya was still terrifying even in the final episode," "Asaka-san was amazing. He was really scary," "Asaka-san's performance, filled with madness until the very end, was incredible," "I think it was a perfect fit for the role of Tetsuya; it had to be Asaka Koudai!", and "Kanazawa Tetsuya was a loser until the very end."
