Ep. 20: Chizuru confronts Ryuu about his comments regarding her brother and her feelings.

After Ryuu’s brother departs, he instructs Ryuu to ensure Chizuru attends next time. Chizuru arrives late with a gift, prompting Ryuu to suggest she move on from his sibling, which enrages her. She throws the present at him. Sawako and Ayane worry about Chizuru’s distress until Kazehaya reassures them that having supportive friends is valuable. In class, Chizuru ignores Ryuu but later confronts him about his previous remarks. Ryuu clarifies he wanted her rejected so she could finally get over his brother. Chizuru feels insulted, believing he reduced her visit to merely seeing him, and leaves upset. Her friends find her, and she vents her anger, unaware Ryuu is listening. She expresses frustration over her own behavior toward him before the trio spends the rest of the day together.
