The shopping trip delights Akane even as Hazama grows tired, but their rest at the food court is interrupted when classmate Yui spots them and jumps to the wrong conclusion. Yui’s dramatic reaction pulls in another friend, Yuki, and under pointed questions the pair admits they live together and have grown close. Weary from the ordeal, they retreat to a nearby love hotel, where Akane’s shy excitement leads to an intimate encounter that feels both new and daring.
