At nighttime, he is sitting by mailbox, worn out from playing the game and thinking he will be tired for work tomorrow. Edgar gives him a CD that he made when he was practicing the dictionary and tells him to listen to it while he is sleeping. Takashi turns on the CD and falls asleep. The CD says "Don't Get Nuts!" a lot of times and the screen goes black.
