In this episode, Itsuomi Yuki surprisingly introduces her as his girlfriend, a step that affects several relationships within their circle of friends. Itsuomi's explanation prompts Shin to consider breaking the news to Emma, hoping to spare her feelings, as he himself harbors unrequited love for her. Despite his intentions, Shin finds himself unable to inform Emma about Itsuomi's relationship status during a private meeting at his salon.

Throughout the episode, flashbacks reveal the deep bonds and memories between the characters, particularly between Shin and Emma. Their history includes shared moments from high school, such as using the same headphones and a significant event where Shin styled Emma's hair.

The narrative also touches on the dynamics within Shin, Emma, and Itsuomi's friend group, which are complicated by unreciprocated romantic feelings. Emma's long-standing affection for Itsuomi, despite repeated rejections, contrasts with Shin's hidden feelings for Emma, which are accidentally revealed during a confrontation on a rooftop.

As the episode progresses, Shin's dilemma becomes clear—he hesitates to hurt Emma by revealing Itsuomi's new relationship. His reluctance stems from his deep affection for Emma, which stands in contrast to Emma's persistent love for Itsuomi. The episode ends without Shin telling Emma the truth, leaving her feelings and the potential for future developments unresolved.
