Ep. 16: Kyoko helps Ren recover while reflecting on her acting journey and exam stress

Kyoko nurses Ren through a fever, prompting him to thank her kindly, which distracts her from entrance exam reviews. At the set, she recites lines for Ren, who notes her acting progress and compliments her. When he assumes she acts for revenge on Sho Fuwa, she clarifies she seeks self-discovery. She stays at his apartment, falling asleep over textbooks. Ren urges her to rest, leading her to realize she no longer needs to strive for perfection to please her mother. The next morning, traffic delays them, so Kyoko borrows a bike to ensure they arrive on time. Ren admires her determination and internally decides to give her full marks as his manager.
