Shizuka identifies Hachiman’s protective actions as the cause of the Service Club’s division, urging him to reflect on his true intentions. The next day, Hachiman admits his plans created a mess, seeking help from Yui and Yukino. Yukino refuses defensively, while Yui tearfully acknowledges her own unfairness. Yukino counters by criticizing Yui for hiding her feelings. Hachiman realizes Shizuka’s advice meant more than just speaking, fighting tears as he expresses his desire to understand those around him. His unfamiliar approach unsettles Yukino, who flees to the roof. Hachiman and Yui follow, with Yui’s sentiment about mutual openness resonating deeply with Yukino, leading her to agree to assist Hachiman.
