Episode 52

**"My Confusion (part 3)"** is the fifty-second released episode of *My Deepest Secret* by Hanza Art. Yohan clears up the misunderstanding between Hanamika and Emma. After the girls are properly acquainted, he then shares the extent of his investigation on who pushed Emma.

## Synopsis

Yohan settles himself comfortably on the arm of the couch that Emma is sitting on. Curiously, he inquires why Emma assumed Hanamika was the perpetrator behind the incident, wondering if it is because Hanamika was the closest person in the vicinity at the time. Before responding, Emma hesitantly asks if she did anything to upset Hanamika. Confused by the question, Hanamika states that since they are not well-acquainted, there is no reason for her to be upset with Emma in any way.

At this point, Yohan interjects, expressing his shock that the two girls are not good friends despite being in the same class. Hanamika flatly points out that not everyone is as sociable as he is. Emma admits that because she always perceived Hanamika as angry, even during the hike, she assumed the worst after falling into the river. As comprehension dawns on him, Yohan cheerfully slings his arm around Hanamika's shoulder, explaining that her natural expression always appears hostile. Laughing, he tells Emma that when he first met Hanamika, he was also under the impression that she was mad at him. To demonstrate how good-natured Hanamika actually is, Yohan cheerfully pokes her cheek until she hit him on the head out of irritation.

Ignoring Yohan, Hanamika apologizes, explaining that she has caused misunderstandings in the past because of her cold demeanor. Emma becomes flustered and tells Hanamika that she has nothing to apologize for. Realizing that Hanamika has been minding her own business this entire time, Emma silently curses herself for jumping to conclusions. It even occurred to her at one point that Hanamika is possibly Elios' ex-girlfriend. As she reflects on the past, Emma suddenly recalls the incident when Hanamika blatantly ignored Nura. As Emma relays her confusion, Hanamika confesses that she deduced that Nura has the same extroverted personality as Yohan. Rather than dealing with an overwhelming energy that would exhaust her, Hanamika decided it was better to ignore Nura. Yohan becomes offended as Hanamika and Emma reach an agreement that extroverts can occasionally be too much to handle.

As Yohan bothers Hanamika for hurting his feelings, Emma informs them that the second reason why she suspected Hanamika is because she saw the silhouette of her assaulter. Yohan quickly takes out a notebook and sketches out a rough drawing of the silhouette that Emma described. He shares the notes that he has gathered regarding the investigation thus far. After confirming with the advisor, he listed out 38 students who are possible suspects within the given time frame that Emma was pushed. Assuming that the student was not wearing a wig at the time, he narrowed down the list to 12 suspects with physical descriptions matching the silhouette Emma saw with long hair. As she peruses through the suspect list, she expresses surprise that Yohan is capable of remembering every person in their respective groups. As he praises himself for having an excellent memory, Hanamika pointedly reminds him that it does not prevent him from constantly getting lost. When Yohan irritably points out that she is still a suspect, Hanamika declares that she has an alibi. During the entire search, she was with Zoe, a fellow student, until she found Yohan and Emma.

After scanning the list, Emma states that she is not familiar with anyone other than Hanamika and Sophie. This perks up Hanamika's interest. As Emma explains that Sophie is her friend, Hanamika recalls bumping into Sophie in the hallways several weeks beforehand. After contemplating for a moment, Hanamika confesses that she has been keeping something to herself that she now wishes to share with Emma and Yohan.
