She rushes over to treat his wounds, but Katori “splendidly” brushes her aside, declaring, “It’s my own damn fault for making another guy’s woman fall for me.” Still, Hosokawa - driven by her single-minded wish to stay at the side of the Katori she adores - takes on the challenge of leaping straight into his embrace!

Square One
Following the confession, the distance between Kanda and Takase has only grown wider. While Kanda agonizes over wanting to at least return to the easy, friendly relationship they once had, Takase keeps trying to give a reply to her confession - only for the timing to never quite work out and leaving their frustration mounting.
