Yet, Shirotani wonders why Kurose would show such kindness to a stranger. Kurose asks him to write a list of 10 things he is reluctant to do-thus beginning his course of exposure therapy. When he once again runs into Kurose there, the man reveals that he himself is a counselor at the clinic, and offers to treat Shirotani's condition.
Begrudgingly taking his advice to seek help from a professional, Shirotani visits Shimada Psychosomatics with the hope of seeing a psychiatrist. Ordered to go after him, Shirotani meets Riku Kurose, a man who is able to quickly identify his mysophobia. When the president gets into an accident, he is saved by a mysterious young man who departs as quickly as he appears.
His obsessive-compulsive disorder has limited him in every aspect, from being unable to leave the house without a pair of gloves on, to cleaning his hands vigorously enough to make them bleed. Tadaomi Shirotani is the secretary to the company president of Tosawa Corporation-and is a severe mysophobe.
