They meet up in Florida, a couple days of bass fishing off Natsuki's boat while Akira takes a break from investigating some Miami seafood diner, an apparently suspicious establishment that Akira (dramatically pushing on his sunglasses for the punchline) honest to goodness actually describes as fishy.
And Natsuki watches, speechless, as Tapioca follows up the line with a long quack, all of it natural yet curiously practiced — and Natsuki can't help thinking back to the Akira who solemnly entered a high school class under the guise of student, the Akira who disliked puns and jokes and fun in general or at least thought he should, though Natsuki was never much convinced.
“Get off my boat, that was terrible,” Natsuki says in the post-pun silence, and after a moment Akira gives a little smile and they both burst into laughter.
