Plot

Manaka started fawning over Cain. Just why did Cain pat Manaka's head? Kyoko, as Setsuka, is upset and the incident made her remember her past with Sho. There is no going back, and the box she protected and locked several times is finally...

Chapter Summary

Manaka is in full Cain fangirl mode as she makes up theories on why Cain acts the way he does and cannot blend in with them. Manaka even goes to Cain and says all sorts of nice stuff. Kyoko-as-Setsuka wonders what’s up with this girl who is all lovey-dovey with Cain all of a

sudden, since yesterday. Cain tells her to shut up and stop dreaming. This made Manaka go into a more fanatic fangirl mode since he responded to her. She wants to eat lunch together with him. Murasame fails to snap Manaka out of it, so he shouts at Cain over what he did to cause this misunderstanding. Cain claims that he didn’t do anything.

And since Setsuka glares and insists to know, Cain tells them that he just pick up the coin that Manaka dropped. It seems that Cain-Ren felt like laughing there since Manaka is trembling like a hamster. He put the coin on one of the soda cans she is carrying and smiled. Then, he patted her head.

Murasame exclaims over what that patting head thing is. Setsuka also asks about this since HER BROTHER is being nice to some other girl. Cain asks if he can’t do that. Inwardly, Kyoko thinks of course he shouldn't do that, because it's out of character for Cain's obsessive brother role. Cain says that even he loves pet animals.

Murasame starts trying to snap Manaka out of it since that meant this guy treats her like a pet hamster. Manaka shouts that he is really Kyoushirou-sama and he wants to be hugged in his chest, too, which comes from a scene in a Kyoushirou movie when

Kyoushiro holds a cat against his chest while it is raining. As Murasame carries fan-crazed Manaka away, Cain asks Setsuka if she is angry. She says that she isn’t. Then, Kyoko becomes mortified because as Setsuka, she ought to be angry. Cain is surprised when Kyoko suddenly walks away. He asks again if she is angry and she insists that she isn’t.

Soon, Ren-as-Cain is speechless over the pile of food she put on his plate. Setsuka insists that she isn’t angry over this since she isn’t a kid. She tells him to eat first since she is going to get some hot water. He tells her that he’ll wait for her. While walking out, Kyoko thinks that things are far from good and it started from that night on the bed. At the time, she had used the alibi that she was jealous as Setsuka. Just now, her subconscious barely passed because this feeling isn’t... She recalls seeing Sho kissing some girl under the tree and her eyes went blank. Until now, allowing this feeling to show wasn't permitted.

She recalls how she happily served Sho with drinks and pudding. Setsuka-Kyoko’s eyes go blank. She knows what this feeling is and she also knows where it sprouted from. She can feel that metaphorically, she's on a cliff between Ren and and the edge; Ren tells her not to continue backing away and come to him, there’s nothing to be afraid of. She shakes her head.

He calls her name. She thinks that touching hands would definitely expose her the true feelings she wants to desperately hide. When Ren moves a step forward, Kyoko steps back and falls down from the cliff. While surprised Ren calls out to her, Kyoko falls down and sadly thinks that she can't allow exposure to happen.

“I don't want you to know the source that gave birth to this emotion.” A lock falls down from the box. All of the locks of Kyoko’s Pandora box have been removed.
