Chapter 95: We Reflected

**We Reflected** is the ninety-fifth Chapter of *Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu*.

## Summary

The next morning, Yamada is awake and brushing her teeth as a sleepy Ichikawa enters. As she finishes, he begins doing the same, and she smooths down his bed hair, which he tells her to stop doing. He questions if such an amazing scenario is a sign that he'll die tomorrow. She brings up how she was thinking about the previous night, and asks what his father and friends call him, with him answering, and her offering to instead call him "Kyoutarou." His only response is to go into the washroom and finish brushing, saying it's how he does things. As they depart outside his house, she asks if she can call him, to which he affirms, and they wave each other bye before she leaves for Hiroshima that night. He regrets not telling her "good luck."

Later, Ichikawa gets an invite to view the sakura trees with some of the other kids. When he gets there, Adachi immediately asks him if he's heard the scandalous love story about Yuuri Araki, a fellow model of Yamada's who got caught having a sleepover with a guy. While Ichikawa eats a snack, Adachi continues, saying that he will stick up for Yuuri, who claims that she and her friend were only playing Ring Fit Adventure through the night. Ichikawa counters saying there's no way it's like that. As Adachi continues ranting about how no man alive has touched her chest, Kanzaki and Oota comment on how sad his dedication is. Suddenly, Moe comes up from behind Ichikawa and addresses him, surprised to see him. She is with Serina and Chi, and Adachi asks why they're there. He claims they were talking about finances, but Moe says that she could have sworn he just finished ranting about breasts. She adds her two cents about trashy romance tabloids, saying people should be able to do what they want, kiss, or sleep over, as long as they're dating. Ichikawa nods through her explanations until the "dating" part. Moe continues, saying that sleeping over when you're not dating is a big shock, even for her, patting him on the back. Chi then decides to take pictures, showing one of Moe and Ichikawa, and saying she'll send them to Yamada later, which Ichikawa objects to. As the other kids talk about her, Ichikawa considers how Yamada has stayed over at the house of a boy she's not dating. Meanwhile, Chi is going over the cast of the movie that Yamada is in, and while the others gush about how amazing she is, Chi concludes that she never changes. As the boys depart, Adachi apologizes because Ichikawa seemed to be in rough shape throughout their talks. He says it's not a problem, and wants to hang out again at some point.

Later, Ichikawa gets a video call from Anna, who is at her hotel. She begins to show him around the room, but he interjects, wanting to talk about last night, but her mother enters the room, fresh from a shower, and Anna sets her phone down to address her. Ichikawa realizes she must have gone with her on the trip. Sanae begins talking as her daughter discusses taking a bath, wanting to continue a talk they had earlier in the day about self-awareness. Ichikawa realizes she must have been angry about her staying over, but Sanae clarifies that she isn't asking her not to lie, because she lied to her parents all the time as a kid, but that she and her father will support her whatever she decides to do, but urges her not to sleep over for the time being, which Yamada agrees to. Ichikawa runs through his head how he also needs to act with self-awareness, but his introspection is shattered by the bed shifting and getting a look at Sanae in only a t-shirt and underwear.

## Trivia

* Yuuri Araki is the same woman from Yamada's agency that Adachi talks about when he sees her poster on the Akita Shoten Headquarters wall. He appears to be a big fan. She's also gone from a G-cup to an H-cup, according to him.
* The hotel that Yamada and Sanae stay at is the real-world Candeo Hotel in Fukuyama.
