Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, and Hina and Ayame ponder over who they plan to gift with chocolates. Given that it’s a tradition to give some to someone you like, each character revealed, in one way or another, that they currently like someone. While we know Hina’s feelings for Taiki, Ayame quickly worries about the nebulous possibility that somebody might also go for Kyo.
But that doesn’t deter her. She gets closer to Hina when gets reassurance that Kyo likely returns her feelings without even knowing it. It’s such an empowering and sweet moment, and we’re sure to see even more of it next week!
