– The relationship that cannot be restored

Pulling Aoi back into the apartment, Shuusei starts embracing her and pushes her onto the floor despite her struggling. Calling her ‘Overly curious Aoi-chan’, Shuusei unfastens her ribbon and comments that she seems to be fine with whatever is done to her. As Shuusei unbuttons her blouse, he asks what is it that she wants to know. Or does she want to find out about males? He then reaches out and gropes her chest causing Aoi to flinch. Unfastening his tie, Shuusei tells her that he’ll teach her all that she wants to know. But Aoi still believes that Shuusei is teasing her as usual though he reiterates that she should judge by herself whether he’s really joking or not, because he won’t treat her so gently like Wataru. Shuusei continues caressing her despite Aoi scolding and telling him to stop. Ignoring her pleas, he tells her to treat him as a practice platform and she can instruct him to do what she wants. However, Aoi keeps exclaim that this isn’t what she meant. Aoi thinks to herself that this is wrong. When Shuusei closes in to kiss her, she recalls the time when Shuusei had comforted her when she was feeling down. Before their lips could touch, Aoi places her hand on her mouth as she starts crying. Looking at the weeping Aoi, Shuusei stopped his advances and moved away from her into the living room. Looking at the dishes laid on the table, Shuusei mumbles that even he thinks that the past was better as he punches the wall angrily.

Over at Wataru’s apartment, Wataru while cleaning his dishes, recalls Aoi saying that she wants to make him submit to her by cooking up something really delicious. He stares at the clock as if making a decision. Over at Aoi’s, Aoi remained sitting on the floor still unable to overcome what just happened. Lifting her head after hearing the sound of a door open, she was shocked to see Shuusei changed and carrying a huge bag as though he was leaving for good. Shuusei tells her that he’s going to go cool his head. As he puts on his shoes, Aoi asks where is he going and when Shuusei remained silent, she asks if he will come back. As Shuusei heads out the door, he tells her that she can just throw away his stuff if she finds them a bother. That left Aoi stunned and in disbelief. As she looked into the empty living room with the food still on the table, she imagined the scene in which Shuusei and she was having dinner together happily. As though snapping back to reality, Aoi chases after Shuusei in the rain. Spotting him, she cries out for him to wait. Hugging Shuusei from behind, Aoi finally confesses to him. Shuusei was astonished upon hearing her confession. Aoi continues her confession by telling him that she had liked him all this while. Because it’s him that she fell in love, and she wants to be together with him. Aoi pleads with him not to leave and repeats continuously that she loves him. After some silence between the two, Shuusei breaks the silence by grabbing onto Aoi’s hand and declares that he doesn’t hold such feelings for her. And with that, he walks away leaving Aoi alone in the rain.

Back at the apartments, Wataru exits his room only to find a soaked Aoi returning to the apartments. Concerned, he asks whether something happened, whether they had eaten, and where was Shuusei. Aoi turned around looking like her normal self, and tells Wataru that Shuusei had gone out while apologizing for all the trouble she had caused. Seeing Aoi’s dejected expression, Wataru couldn’t hold back any longer and grabs her into his room. He then helps her dry her hair but Aoi tells him that she’s fine and that she wants to return to her room. Wataru however, stops her from leaving and says that he will not let her cry alone. When Aoi firmly states that she won’t do something like crying, Wataru hugs her and proclaims that he can’t stand seeing her in this state. Rather than shut herself, he’d rather she rely on him. And it’s okay for her to rely on him, since he likes her.

Afterwords: Aoi overflowing feelings did not reach out to Shuusei. With her heart freezing, she suddenly gets enveloped by Wataru’s warmth. What’s gonna happen between these 3 next??

Special

A pocket watch is swinging at a consistent speed in front of Shuusei’s face. Using her soothing voice, his sister manages to hypnotize him, turning him into a loyal dog. Aoi who had watched the whole process, was amazed that the hypnotism succeeded. The sister tells her not to get shocked too early and proceeds to order Shuusei to dress up as a doctor, teacher, navy captain and a pro golfer. Lastly, Shuusei appears dressed as a butler and serves Aoi and his sister afternoon tea in the garden. His sister feels proud of her achievement while Aoi was shocked that they were suddenly sitting in a garden. His sister then incites Aoi to try ordering Shuusei according to her desires, since at this point he is able to change according to her wishes. After some consideration, Aoi, while stuttering, orders Shuusei to become her lover. Upon her orders, Shuusei starts stripping confusing Aoi. Shuusei comments that since they are lovers, it is only right that they do that. He then unzips his pants but Aoi quickly grabs his arms to stop him from going further. Shuusei wonders why she’s trying to stop him since he knows that she’s interested in knowing more. He then concludes that Aoi wants to help him strip instead. She then screams for him to return to his original state.

Out of the blue, someone says hey. Aoi wakes up and finds herself grabbing onto Shuusei’s belt. She realized that it was all a dream. Shuusei looks at her and tells her that he’s willing to strip if she has that interest. Aoi screaming, tells him not to do it.

The End.
