Spoiler for 42:

Once again Nishimori's tailing Taro and Mika, carefully watching but unable to tell his "true character" and confirm to his satisfaction that he's really right for her. After a while he realizes that he's being stupid, that there's no way he'd uncover anything with what he's doing, he just doesn't want to admit that he might be good for her. As this goes on he follows them to a movie theatre that's showing an old crime thriller. As he remembers her inviting him to a movie before, he sees a scene of a girl running on a beautiful beach in the sunset and realizes that he recognizes it. Early on when he first started dating Mika she'd insisted on renting said movie, and immediately fast-forwarded to that scene, talking about how when she was a kid she'd seen that scene over and over with someone, who never wanted to but always relented and watched it with her. She describes this person as "a boy who was my boyfriend for a day", and hearing this simultaneously depresses him and makes him determined to not end up like that, and so sparks his determination to make her his wife. As they lie in bed he hides his depression but she insists that she wouldn't hate him for feeling down, or for getting angry, or really anything, because what she loves most about him is the way he honestly shows his feelings toward her. Sure enough, as they're leaving Mika cheerfully talks to Taro about how they used to watch that beach scene over and over when they were little. Nishimori, watching this, recalls Mika throwing away her necklace representing "trusting love" and begins to feel maybe he doesn't need to do anything to change the future this time, that they'll work it out on their own. As they talk she recalls their last meeting when they'd promised to meet again (no mention of the promise to marry), and she admits that she'd not really believed they'd ever be able to meet again, she just said it to try and drive away her sadness at losing a best friend. Taro responds that he'd earnestly believed that they'd see each other again, because he's bad at lying. At the end, Mika sadly says that yeah, she too finds lies to be painful.
