## Summary:

In the stairway, Yamada and Ichikawa's lips remain locked. He considers how he can't hear any of the events at the concert, only to have his thoughts return when he realizes he can't breathe. He breaks contact with a heavy breath as a chatting couple comes through the doorway, and he says to the blushing Yamada that his sister's band must have finished.

Primary COLOR have gathered in a room in the back, and various guys are taking pictures with Momo for a thousand yen per picture. Kana complains about having to be the photographer, while Aoton reminds her that she's the drummer for three different bands, and pretty popular. Kana turns her attention to Yamada and Kyoutarou, who have just come in, and asks if he saw the performance. He affirms nervously that he did, speaking tensely due to his recent intimate encounter in the stairway. Aoton and Hinako look towards him, and he realizes they must know he was the writer of their song lyrics. An emotional Yamada runs up to Kana, yelling praise between tears, and calling it "crazy good." She requests a recording, while Momo asks if she can have people from her agency check out their work. Kyoutarou freaks out in silence, realizing that his shame will be seen the world-over if they succeed in becoming famous. Kana invites them to join the rest of the band to an outing, but Yamada refuses, because of their planned trip tomorrow. Momo questions their plans, and Kana informs her that they're going on a retreat with four girls and one boy, which she compares to reality tv show The Bachelor. She proposes going with them on the retreat, having Shogo drive them, and Kyoutarou considers it. He asks to clarify that they all go to Wasuda University, and invites them to come over for a day or so, though reminding them it is for a study retreat. Kana is taken aback by how upfront he is, while Momo yells about bringing alcohol. Meanwhile, Jin walks awkwardly up to the band, with Kana introducing him. He asks for a picture, and Momo grabs his arm to pose, but he instead requests a picture with Kana. The girls crack up at this, with Kana saying she can't believe he said this with a straight face, while Yamada and Ichikawa begin to head out.

Back on the train home, Ichikawa tells Yamada that he will use any weapon at his disposal to defeat his enemies, which she finds to be quite villainous. He realizes he can't look her in the eye after the events of the day, and she reaches forward to grab his hand while awkwardly asking him about the lyrics of the song. He admits to making a transcript of her confession, which his sister found, and she finds the whole event amusing as they enter into the street. He comments on how she reacts, saying most would find that weird, but she says she'd want to record even more songs. She suddenly clams up, and he asks if she's feeling well, saying he'd feel awful if she couldn't come due to a sickness. She reminds him of when he said he could even have fun without her, and he says that he'd be fine, but things would be more fun with her there. She happily swings their interconnected arms back and forth, which he complains about until she stops. They make it to Yamada's apartment complex, and she asks if he thinks they'll be able to get up early enough tomorrow. They stand in silence for a time, and he announces his departure, but she stops him, apologizing for suddenly kissing him earlier. He nervously asserts that it's not a big deal, while considering how she keeps having to apologize when they depart. She timidly says that she thought their first kiss might have been better if it didn't come from her, while twisting her hair in front of her face. This admission strikes him with its bluntness, and he apologizes, saying he shouldn't have stalled it. He reminds her, however, that they agreed that he wouldn't touch her anywhere she hasn't touched him, and she agrees, considering it a good thing she wasn't arrested for molestation. She offers to be patient until then, and turns towards her place as he tells her he'll see her tomorrow. He begins walking off, only for her to run back up to him and grab his head to plant another kiss on his lips. She admits that she couldn't wait, and he can only sputter in response.
