Aired on March 9, 2019

Rui meets Shuu at a bookstore and buys him a meal to apologize for past troubles, explaining that although he is divorced, he feels it would be selfish to reconcile with Hina. Meanwhile, Hina moves out of the shared home but leaves Natsuo a key to her apartment. Rui later finds Natsuo staring out the window in Hina’s old room and embraces him. Natsuo visits Hina’s apartment, watching her sleep before waking her to declare he is willing to die with her. They share a kiss, but Hina stops him from going further, stating they should not rush. The following day at school, she confesses her mutual feelings, and they kiss again.
