### Summary
The focus shifts from the central couple to the poignant struggles of those around them as a quiet but powerful moment unfolds between Kyou and Hina. Witnessing Hina's heartache over her unrequited feelings for Taiki, the usually stoic Kyou reveals a hidden depth, profoundly empathizing with her pain through the lens of his own past heartbreak. His pained reflection, "it still hurts," is revealed not as a burgeoning feeling for Hina, but as a shared sorrow for a love that could never be, adding a new layer of complexity to his character. This moment of empathy is contrasted with the implication that Chinatsu may soon be separated from Taiki, setting the stage for a period of absence that might finally force her to confront her own feelings.
