20

As Ren and Takumi stay for dinner, Nana K. and the rest of Black Stones learn that Yasu went to the same junior high school as Takumi and that he had dated Reira for two years in high school. Disheartened, Nana K. feels inferior and believes Yasu would never date someone as plain as herself. While running errands with Nobu, Nana K. learns she has much in common with him and quickly feels better after talking to him. By the time they return, Takumi has left, and Nana O. warns Nana K. about Takumi's womanizing behavior. The next day, Nana K. is finally fired for continuous poor work performance. In her moment of despair, Takumi calls and invites her to spend time with him, to which she impulsively accepts. (Source: Wikipedia)
