There is a tune stuck in Mafuyu Satou's head. Once Shirotani figures out the last item, the thing he would hate to do the most, only then will his newfound counselor finally tell him the truth. With number 10 on the list left blank by an undecided Shirotani, Kurose issues a challenge. After all, the two have barely met, and Kurose does not deny the accusations of an ulterior motive. Yet, Shirotani wonders why Kurose would show such kindness to a stranger. Kurose asks him to write a list of 10 things he is reluctant to do-thus beginning his course of exposure therapy.
When he once again runs into Kurose there, the man reveals that he himself is a counselor at the clinic, and offers to treat Shirotani's condition.
Begrudgingly taking his advice to seek help from a professional, Shirotani visits Shimada Psychosomatics with the hope of seeing a psychiatrist. Ordered to go after him, Shirotani meets Riku Kurose, a man who is able to quickly identify his mysophobia.
When the president gets into an accident, he is saved by a mysterious young man who departs as quickly as he appears.

Tadaomi Shirotani is the secretary to the company president of Tosawa Corporation-and is a severe mysophobe.
