He's pretty much been ordering MC around since she took him in. He compensates her (or at least tries to, but she refuses), but still... He's very demanding. Pays for the food expenses but waits impatiently for her to finish cooking, when he could just go out to eat. Steals her bed and makes her his pillow.

MC asks if he even still needs to stay at her place since he's become a pretty successful business man with a lot of money. He can move out and find his own place. Or even build his own house. But nope, he's going to stay with MC until he loses interest. MC mentions rumors spreading around town about them being together which she'd like to dispel asap. Silvio says there's no shame in being associated with a rich and handsome man like himself. He changes the topic, telling her that she can make the dish she made today again tomorrow.

MC asks if he thinks she'll just do whatever he wants if he throws money at her. Not like she takes any of his money though, except for food. She tells him that even the money for food is too much, but he responds by saying that the money covers the labor put into cooking, not just he ingredients. He's done with the discussion about him moving out and ends it, and then shoves food into MC's mouth when she protests.

After finishing dinner, he pulls MC to bed to be his pillow. Another reason why she wants him to move out. She complains but his responses sound as if he's not actually listening to her. She dislikes Silvio, she thinks to herself.

The next day, she's rushing home, having gotten off work late. Silvio must be home already, waiting for dinner. However, when she gets home, she sees the lights off and no Silvio to be found. She waits for a while but he still hasn't returned. Maybe he really did move out. MC can finally have her peaceful life back. But lying in her bed, she suddenly finds it too big. And it's too quiet. She mentally scolds Silvio for leaving without saying anything first. Maybe she is missing his presence. She had fallen asleep thinking about how she can't hear the jangling sounds. And how him eventually leaving was to be expected.

She wakes up after a bit and hears the familiar sounds of Silvio's jewelry as well as a blurry figure. Silvio's surprised that she woke up (he's blushing!). She wonders if this is a dream and grabs his hand. Feeling his warmth, she can tell that it's not a dream. Still blushing, Silvio tells her to let go. She smells alcohol on him. Turns out, he was at a business meeting that dragged a little too long. MC expresses her relief, making him blush again. He reminds her of what she said the day before. —Yes well, it's different this time. She did tell him to leave but...— Silvio asks if she missed him. She denies it.
