12

Flashbacks reveal Kaoru cheered up Mayu in the past by playing with her doll after her parents missed her birthday, noting his own parents are gone. The next morning, a sleepy Kaoru heads to college, sparking rumors. He tries calling Aoi, but her calls are forwarded to Miyabi, who is working from home, so the message never reaches Aoi. Unaware of this technical issue, Aoi grows worried by the silence. Kaoru eventually explains the situation and apologizes sincerely. Aoi accepts the apology, stating it was unnecessary, and forgives him. The episode concludes with the couple sharing a kiss on a gallery beneath the moon.
