Ep. 4: Kyouya's New Dog and Erika's Love Struggles

4

A woman exits Kyouya's apartment, informing Erika that he dismissed her because he acquired a new dog and no longer wishes to date. Erika confesses her feelings, prompting Kyouya to tell her to suffer over his lack of response. She subsequently meets Kyouya's friend, Hibiya Takeru, who attempts to help her win him over by testing Kyouya's preferences. When these schemes fail, Takeru confronts the pair and confesses his own love for Erika to provoke Kyouya. Kyouya remains indifferent, causing Erika to flee in tears. He later advises Takeru to cease his interference, stating he intends to fall in love with Erika on his own terms.
