Ep. 10: Amane confronts past trauma while Mahiru clarifies her feelings and sets a study reward.
Approaching Mother’s Day, Mahiru questions Amane’s avoidance of his mother. Amane reveals that in Junior High, three friends manipulated him for money, causing him to lose trust in others and switch schools. Mahiru promises to be a reliable support system. A school rumor claims Mahiru dated someone, which she confirms was the most important person in her life, later telling Amane he is her most treasured friend since she feels no connection to her parents. Motivated, Amane begins exercising to improve his appearance. He dreams of intimacy with Mahiru, acting strangely until he explains the embarrassing incident, which Mahiru finds amusing. With exams near, Mahiru offers a reward: if Amane ranks in the top ten, he may rest his head in her lap again. She also admits she loves caring for him, a declaration that overwhelms Amane.
