Ep. 13: Akari worries about Hiroyuki while sick and confronts Shiho about her feelings.

13

Akari has grown increasingly concerned that her special shared moments with Hiroyuki mean nothing to him, questioning if he remembers the incident by the stone steps. With Shiho appearing to make a move on him, Akari’s anxiety peaks when she is confined to bed with a cold. During Shiho’s visit, Akari directly asks if she is in love with Hiroyuki. This unexpected question catches Shiho off-guard, leaving her in a difficult position where she must choose between respecting Akari’s feelings and pursuing her own desires.
