## Summary

Kirishima is currently spending time with a fling of him, and during their intimate moments, he enthusiastically shared details about Yoshino when questioned about having a girlfriend. He described Yoshino as a fellow student in the same year at his high school, emphasizing the closeness of their families and their daily commute to school together. Kirishima mentioned Yoshino staying in their household too and even showed the girl a series of candid photos he had covertly taken of Yoshino, explaining her aversion to being photographed.

The girl suggested that Yoshino might harbor resentment towards Kirishima based on his description. According to her, if Yoshino consistently displays anger, it could indicate strong dislike against him. Kirishima pondered the idea of giving up on Yoshino when the girl suggested about it, since he do have a feeling for her. The girl proposed the possibility of Yoshino being involved in a long-distance relationship with someone from Osaka, which made Kirishima excited just by thinking about it. Appreciated by Kirishima's calm demeanor, even in the face of her emotional needs, contrasting it with the presumed hostility from Yoshino. Encouraging Kirishima to consider Yoshino's feelings if she consistently appears angry, prompting Kirishima to reflect in silence.

Yoshino was in the midst of sleep when she noticed a shadowy figure nearby, initially thinking it might be her grandpa. However, recalling she was in Tokyo, she considered it might be Kirishima. Upon waking in the morning, she felt a sense that someone had been in her room. She checked the door to confirm it was locked, but uncertainty lingered, and she couldn't determine if it was a dream or reality.

Though she dismissed it initially, attributing it to a dream, the thought that it could be Kirishima persisted, as he seemed like the only person who would enter without notice. Throughout the day, she observed Kirishima's normal behavior, but her concerns lingered. Despite the secured doors and windows with chains, she contemplated his intentions, questioning why he would enter without notice. This led her to entertain the thought that he might be growing bored of her and contemplating to kill her. The idea of Kirishima possibly poisoning her through the water purifier filters crossed her mind, which made her realized how accustomed she had become to his eccentric stunts.

Although planning to change her locks the next day, Yoshino decided to take matters into her own hands for self-defense. She spotted a kitchen knife and considered it as a potential safeguard against any perceived threat.

That night, Yoshino sensed Kirishima's presence in her room, causing a slight nervousness. To avoid detection, she rolled over to feign sleep. Noticing Kirishima's seemingly wet head, possibly from blood, raised questions about his unexpected presence in her bedroom. She recalled the kitchen knife she had placed under the futon for self-defense, intending to use it only as a last resort.

Contemplating the potential threat, Yoshino reasoned that if Kirishima intended harm while she slept, he would need to get close enough to touch her. Suddenly, she felt movement around her pillow and discovered Kirishima braiding her hair. Frustrated and angry about his actions, she grabbed the kitchen knife, ready to attack him. Kirishima swiftly disarmed her, nearly causing harm in the process. Realizing his reflexive action, he apologized and expressed remorse for the unintentional damage to her mattress as well as almost hurting her in the process.

As Kirishima knelt and sought forgiveness, Yoshino's initial chill turned into anger. She questioned his motives for sneaking into her room without ringing the doorbell. Kirishima, seeking understanding, asked if she would have let him in if he had rung the bell, to which she affirmed. In response to her inquiry about his entry method, Kirishima proudly admitted to having a spare key made from bits of aluminum and honing the skill of undoing the door through practice.

Yoshino takes charge, lecturing Kirishima on respecting personal boundaries and avoiding vague terms like "illegal" or "common sense." Kirishima, perceiving Yoshino mostly in an angry state, discloses a desire to see her sleeping for a different perspective. Yoshino challenges his unconventional actions, questions his injuries, and learns about a curfew. Kirishima, expressing a wish for a more peaceful environment, faces skepticism from Yoshino.

Later, Yoshino confronts Kirishima about his non-conformist behavior and seemingly extensive connections with girls. She tests his predictability, revealing observations about his habits and denying involvement with other girls. Kirishima introduces a hypothetical scenario, and Yoshino, unfazed, admits avoiding him not out of hatred but due to his unpredictable nature.

Despite planning for Kirishima to leave after tending to his injuries, he surprises Yoshino by expressing love and humorously pledging to make her want to kill him for cheating. Yoshino questions his understanding of his own words.
