Episode 7 delves into the past, revealing the origins of Minato's friendship with Uta and the complexity of their family dynamics.

The episode begins with a flashback to the time when Uta's family moved in across from the Yuzukis. The Yuzuki brothers, still grappling with the loss of their parents, are encouraged to welcome their new neighbors. Despite initial resistance, especially from Minato, the brothers visit the Kirishima family. There, they meet Uta, her younger brother Waka, and their mother Saki.

Minato's initially dismissive attitude toward Uta is influenced by his favorite manga character, who embodies the philosophy of the lone wolf. However, his stance quickly changes, and he becomes determined to befriend Uta, even though she is reluctant at first.

Uta's behavior is shaped by her family situation. Her mother Saki divorced due to her husband's infidelity, a fact Uta and Waka are unaware of. Uta blames her mother for the move and the loss of her father, creating tension in the household.

Minato persistently tries to connect with Uta, but she remains distant, struggling with her family issues. The episode highlights Minato's growing understanding of Uta's struggles and his efforts to support her.

A turning point occurs when Minato confronts Uta about her behavior toward her mother. He shares his own experiences of losing his parents and emphasizes the importance of valuing family. This conversation prompts Uta to reconsider her actions and eventually reconcile with her mother.

The episode ends on a lighthearted note. Minato, absorbed in the events of the summer, realizes he has neglected his homework. His brothers tease him, but their familial bond shines through in their interactions.
