Now that Aoi’s matter is settled, Sōta persists in denying the burgeoning emotions he harbors for Mahiru. Elsewhere, having at last discovered Yachiyo’s birthday, Jun showers her with gifts he’d previously hesitated to offer. Later, Aoi acquires a cellphone and tries to reach Kikuno, while Popura sinks into a melancholic mood, convinced she has diminished in height.
