Synopsis

Aihara Shou’s unexpected return home catches Yuzu off guard. Meeting him for the first time, she quickly explains to him the dedication Mei has shown in her studies at the academy. But Mei cuts her short with a sharp cry, as Shou merely avoids her gaze with a visible hesitation. He then tells his daughter, “I am not returning to the academy.” Yuzu is left speechless as Mei flees to their bedroom. Later that night, she attempts to speak with Mei again.
