As Satoru lies dying, he gives Tamura a final, urgent request.
Tamura is ordered to dispose of the hard disk of Satoru’s personal computer, implying that it contains important or sensitive data.
Tamura shows a somewhat boastful and carefree side by using a “consultation” as an excuse just to show off his relationship and marriage plans.
