Kōyū, half-lying down, held Ai in his arms and looked up at the night sky.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but he felt that it was about time, so he decided to tell Ai and then go back to the office.
Yesterday they told Xiaolan that they would eat dinner out and might come back late, but they wouldn't stay out overnight or come back.

Just as Kōyū remembered, he discovered that Ai had fallen asleep sometime earlier.
