Episode overview

Kakeru is questioned by Yuko about his feelings for Koharu, while Narumi urges him on, saying, “If you let this chance slip, there won’t be another.” Lost in thought, Kakeru struggles to decide what to do. Meanwhile, Koharu, prompted by words from her mother Haruka, begins to face the feelings she had long kept buried deep in her heart. Soon, the four of them make plans to set off fireworks, one of Koharu’s wishes.

At the same time, Yuko, who goes along with Narumi’s suggestion, tries to seal away her hidden feelings for Kakeru. As night falls and the two spend quiet time together, the feelings between Koharu and Kakeru begin to accelerate.
