This episode we finally get to look into why Arata quit his job, and it’s kind of depressing, but understandable why he did. It begins with Arata approaching Yoake and asking for medicine to change back. Yoake panics at first but then tells Arata that it is the second time he has asked for it, the first being when he quit his job to do the experiment. Arata explains it’s for visiting a grave, and for some reason Yoake already knows this. He tells Arata he will get the medicine as long as he gets to go.

It turns out it is the anniversary of Arata’s friend’s death; she had been his trainer when he was was a new hire to a company that was termed “Black Company,” which is basically a really, really awful place to work at. It is known as being exploitative and almost sweatshop like atmosphere. An sees Yoake writing a request for the medicine for both himself and Arata, Although Yoake won’t let her come along, he does give her a task, which is revealed towards the end of the episode.  Yoake and Arata are at Arata’s place, and because the medicine makes them drowsy, and it takes an hour to take effect, Arata suggests they take a nap. Yoake admits he sleeps through alarms and loud noises, and he literally sits up so he doesn’t sleep so hard. Arata suggests he gets a girlfriend that can wake him up.

It’s revealed that it had been four months since Yoake and Arata had met on the street and Arata became their experiment. During the train ride, Yoake picks on him, and asks if he looked sad because the ReLife would end soon. Arata, as usual when it comes to Yoake, gets flustered and yells at him; telling him that the only reason he agreed to it was the living arrangements and the job referral.

They visit Saiki’s grave (the series finally reveal her name, after several flashbacks to her in the beginning of the series. Arata talks about his former job and how Saiki was his trainer when he was a new hire. He had been surprised that he was working under a woman in sales. But one day couple of coworkers sabotaged her work and Arata said something to her about it. She was aware of it, and tells him to stay out of it and grow up. When coworkers talk bad about her behind her back, Arata had enough and yelled at them. But the harassment only got worse and he was filled with regret.

Arata discovers that Saiki kills herself, and he gets very angry that the coworkers and the president really don’t show respect when they talk about her death at work.  Arata reveals it was all of those things that made him decide to quit the job. He hands in a resignation letter, and the president literally mocks him. He tells Arata that only upper management can resign, and new hires can give notice. He’s told to grow up and get back to work, but Arata manages to say he quits. The president screams at him, calling him a piece of shit and to never come back.

When Yoake and Arata are about to leave the grave, a voice calls out to Arata. They were two new hires at the company Arata used to work for, and starts talking to him. Arata studies them and describes them as being half-dead. They tell him that they are afraid to quit, but they both look up to him for giving the president a piece of his mind. They say the president regards Saiki as a fallen warrior, and Arata as the three month hire who quit.

On the train ride home, Arata is sulking and assumes that Yoake set the meeting up. He denies it, but the favor he asks An earlier was to look for these people to run into. It actually works, as Arata is glad he quit, that he met the two people and that his voice finally reached others. Arata admits if it weren’t for ReLIFE, he wouldn’t have been able to say anything. It seems, regarding these past few episodes, that a major conflict all of the characters have, is that they lack confidence in communicating with others. They word things wrong, they don’t know how to react to others, etc.  But finally towards the end, they have all grown as individuals. The social skills have a complete turnaround, and a lot of it is due to Arata’s involvement with everyone. This was a good episode as it kind of closes, but not really,  the guilt Arata had with Saiki’s death . And it gives us answers as to why Arata quit, and what happened to the woman that he would have flashbacks of. Stay tuned for the reviews of the last two episodes!
