"It's not that I don't pay attention, it's that no one was really meeting me halfway. It was bad enough with the case, I can only imagine what a pain in the ass I was for everyone else." Well, except Adachi-san, but his timeline's just all kinds of messed up.

Naoki nods. "Moved in with him over winter break of her second year. She was back two weeks later. Not because he was a jerk - she said every job she found that sounded halfway interesting wanted someone who'd at least finished high school, and she didn't want to just be a lump in his apartment. So she came back, and... well, Junes could pay her more than Dad could. She always said it'd be for the good of our store eventually, but she never explained."

Hanamura probably knows about the boyfriend, at least on some level. The one here does, anyway, since Naoki mentioned it in one of their (admittedly few) conversations, and in general it was the talk of the town for a while. As much as Hanamura prides himself for knowing what the housewife network is on about at any given moment, he can't have missed it.
