==Plot==
Emily texts Yagami and they agree to meet in front of Jinnai Station again. They head to Meng Wu in Chinatown for some Chinese food. After eating and having a chat, Emily asks Yagami if he is curious of what happened last time. He says he will wait until she is ready, and she states she is. 
Emily tells him the three were classmates from elementary and junior high, who used to tease her because of being a foreigner knowing little Japanese. They made fun of her middle name as well, which greatly irritated her, and her memories of them is why she wants to leave Isezaki Ijincho. She was scouted by a Kamurocho girls' bar as well, meaning she has an opportunity to move, but she feels conflicted. Emily asks Yagami if he has any memories he wished to forget, and he states there was someone he could not completely trust, but he came to terms with his old haunts three years prior.
At Girl's Bite, Emily gives Yagami a free drink when her old classmates return. When they bring up a time when they told her the phrase for "poop" meant "good morning", Yagami tells them to keep quiet. Yagami offers to fight one of them, but before they can go outside, Emily serves a drink and tells them she is fluent in Japanese now, but forgot English. They are able to have a laugh together, and Yagami is impressed by her skill.
Outside the bar, after finishing their drinks, the classmates apologize for how they treated Emily. They new she disliked it, but liked making everyone else laugh. Mankichi was teasing her because he had a crush on her, and Emily states she in not interested, as she already has someone. When they leave, Emily tells Yagami she wanted to face her bad memory, and that her middle name is "Suzy." Before she goes back into the bar, she states she wants to go on a date with Yagami sometime.

===Details===
This is my second date with Emily-chan. I'm still a bit upset about last time. This Mankichi guy came and put her in a bad mood. Maybe I'll overhear what's going on. There are some things in people's pasts you just don't ask about.
Emily-chan was bullied and called names like "antisocial." The people doing it didn't seem to realize they were doing it, but that doesn't make it any easier to bear. Emily-chan's... an amazing girl. Despite her past trauma, keeping in line with her reputation at Girl's Bite, she treated her former bullies perfectly. They were even a bit moved by her actions. I still hope they fall in a river on their way home, but Emily-chan seems pretty refreshed after that.
