She also expresses her wish to talk more with Komura-kun, as she feels they haven’t had many conversations lately.
Then, Mie-san makes a request: she wants to look at Komura-kun up close at least once a day when she forgets her glasses. Komura-kun agrees and finds the request endearing. Later, Mie-san’s hair gets tangled, and Komura-kun helps her untangle it, even tying her hair up for her. She imagines him doing this every morning, though not necessarily at school.
