Mitsuki finally visits Haruka, but all Haruka can talk about is how often Takayuki visits, and how much she loves Takayuki. In desperation to save her relationship, Mitsuki bans Takayuki from visiting Haruka daily. Takayuki obliges, but instead of spending more quality time with Mitsuki, he opts to avoid the situation with extra work shifts. After one night, Takayuki notices Akane across the street, looking depressed. Worried that Haruka might be in trouble, Takayuki rushes to the hospital, despite what Mitsuki said.
