88

Mitaka confronts Godai about his forced marriage to Asuna, rejecting pity before leaving in anger. At dinner, Asuna notices Mitaka’s forced smile resembles a childhood photo and promises to build happiness together, silently saying goodbye to Kyoko. Meanwhile, Kozue receives a sudden marriage proposal from a bank colleague and seeks Godai’s advice. She visits Maison Ikkoku, where Kyoko agrees to escort her to the cabaret. After learning Godai is studying for final exams, Kozue decides not to burden him immediately. Instead, she asks him to close his eyes and kisses him for the first time. Unbeknownst to them, Kyoko returns to the apartment and witnesses the intimate moment, leaving the situation unresolved.
