Synopsis

Jun finally found the strength to tell Yachiyo how he felt, but the confession faltered, and Yachiyo retreated from his reach. After a search, he located her and, with directness, laid bare his heart, finally receiving a return of his affections. Afterward, Kyoko expressed a desire to shield Yachiyo from the demands of his affection, suggesting she shouldn't be bound to him. Yet, Jun understood that Kyoko was an integral part of the woman he had come to love.
