She seduces Aki. Aki is reminded of Makoto. He cries/escapes. Makoto's POV for a chapter. Decides to track down Aki. They meet coincidentally. Go for a drink in the area. Aki gets drunk. Says something romantic/loving to Makoto under his breath. Makoto takes him home. Former editor calls saying he's sending over new editor because she's a huge fan of him, etc. It's this woman (or "Miharu" as others have said). Awkward, sort of, but she still keeps trying to get into his pants. Makoto gets jealous/angry. Aki and Makoto have a big fight about their relationship and what it actually is. They finally kiss 10 years later. A man in a Delorean arrives and asks why the author is still drawing in this style. The end. Pulitzer Prize pls.
