When he refuses to do so, they get pissed and are about to beat him into submission. However, Nagi shows up and tells them that she quit her career because of that. When Akira tells her about how she "told them he touched her", Nagi tells him that she never said and lambasts her parents for using her as an excuse to kick him out of the house and for always treating Akira like crap.
