Yuiko prepares strawberry jam for Ritsuka, but classmates bully her, causing the jar to fall from a window. Ritsuka defends her, angering Yayoi who sought credit for her own assistance. Frustrated by Soubi’s silence, Ritsuka commands him to photograph a nearly extinct mountain cat. Yuiko confesses her love for Ritsuka to a teacher, while the Breathless duo advises Ritsuka to separate from Soubi without revealing information about his brother. Ritsuka returns home to find Soubi waiting with several photos of the cat, while hints suggest Ritsuka’s mother is physically abusing him.
