It’s been a year since the accident and Takayuki is in a deep rut of grief.  Mitsuki does everything she can to keep his spirits up, but it seems as if nothing can jar him from his dark state.  After a breakdown at the hospital, Takayuki is banned from visiting Haruka by her parents.  In an attempt to comfort him, Mitsuki ends up confessing her love for Takayuki, only to have Akane find out about her betrayal in the worst possible way.
