S01E02 Welcome to the Creator!

Late at night in the park, Tatsuhiro encounters Misaki, who insists she can help him overcome his hikikomori lifestyle if he joins her project. Despite his resistance, Misaki persists in her efforts. In a moment of desperation, Tatsuhiro fabricates a story about being a “creator” at a job, but Misaki isn't convinced and demands evidence to back up his claim.
