- "Thank you very much for reading volume 15! While writing this story, I played around with the characters cogitating alongside them as sometimes things didn't turn out the way they wanted. I had a lot of fun working on this story. If that feeling was evident to you, the readers, there would be no greater joy for me as a manga artist."

Oto Edogawa and Haruto Kaguragi, along with Tsukushi Makino and Rui Hanazawa, sit down to talk to Oto's parents. Her father tells her that they approve of their relationship now, before informing her that they are moving. Haruto and Oto go outside to talk. Tsukushi tells them "If you two need to be together then I don't think you should separate," giving them courage.[5] Oto's father agrees that she can stay in Tokyo, revealing that they have already arranged for her to stay at her aunt's. He adds a warning to Haruto that he will come get her if anything happens. The couple meet up with Tsukushi afterwards to tell her how things ended. Tsukushi then tells them she will be returning to Los Angeles.[6]
The next day, the Correct 5, except Haruto, and Oto go to see off Tsukushi. Before she boards the plane, Kaito Taira tells her about Haruto meeting Tsukasa when he was young and how he changed him. Airi Maya asks her to give him their thanks. Meanwhile, Haruto happens to meet the F4, whom are rushing to see Tsukushi. He calls Oto to stop the plane, allowing them to reach Tsukushi in time.[7] Tsukasa embraces Tsukushi, before they begin arguing. She eventually that she admits that she was lonely and he holds her, promising to come whenever she calls. Tsukushi then introduces him to Haruto, whom he does not remember at first. Tsukasa tells him to take care of Oto, adding "We'll probably meet again someday."[8]
Some days later, Oto says goodbye to her parents at the train station. She is settling into her new apartment when Haruto arrives. They then wait for the others to arrive. However, their friends have decided not to go in order to give the couple some time alone. A couple hours later, Haruto makes to leave but Oto stops him. She admits to being lonely and he kisses her.[9] Haruto invites her back to his house. They are then interrupted by a knock at the door. Oto's aunt comes to check on her and soon leaves. Haruto talks to Oto about his future and tells her that he wants her to join him. She agrees and he then rushes out, feeling that he is "taking advantage of [her] loneliness." Oto runs outside after him.[10]
Oto and Haruto walk to his house. She tells him "It's my first time." He says it is his first as well, saying "I only ever planned to do it with the girl I love." A teenager then tries to rob them. Haruto realizes that the teenager is being used by others, which reminds him of himself. He encourages him to change. At Haruto's house, he and Oto spend the night embracing each other.[11] On Christmas, Oto and the Correct 5 go to Arisa Konno's wedding. Konno comes up with an idea to let Haruto and Oto sneak out.
