Ep. 16: Sorata enfrenta problemas de financiamento enquanto Nanami e Mashiro lidam com seus sentimentos

16

Sorata's presentation day is today, and Nanami asks Misaki if she can use the new script Jin sent for her audition. At the presentation, Sorata confidently explains his game, but he is informed that it is too difficult for the game company to fund his design. However, he is given the opportunity to work with one of the production team members and judges, Fujisawa Kazuki, to improve the game design for the next round. Later, Mashiro expresses her jealousy and loneliness in the dinner, as Sorata responds nonchalantly, but he shows his gratitude for the picture she had drawn before. At night, Nanami asks Sorata to help her practice the script, but Sorata becomes nervous at some of the romantic lines. Nanami reminds herself of her feelings for Sorata; Mashiro watches them practice, and talks about her anxiety at seeing the two together with Ayano, who gives her several romance manga to read. Two days before Valentine's Day, Yuuko arrives at Sakurasou to prepare for her entrance exams. In the end, Yuuko whispers to Sorata to pick between Nanami or Mashiro, reminding him of his father's words. (Source: Wikipedia)
