Motoko is still trying to figure out how to approach Ochanomizu. Just then, Ochanomizu bursts out of lab 7, having had a fight with Tenma over the repair of A106. Ochanomizu is angry with Tenma, and Moriya from lab 1 approaches him and invites Ochanomizu to join him. Seeing this situation, Motoko asks Ochanomizu why he is doing research with Tenma. Ochanomizu begins to talk about his encounter with Tenma.
