Taiki is pretty much forced to serve as last-minute understudy Prince opposite Hinas Snow White.
He knows from watching the rehearsals how hard everyonehow hardHinaworked.
He cant let it go to waste.

But while Haryu and Nishida are eager to watch for laughs, Chinatsu is more sober.
When the time comes for the climactic kiss, Taiki covers his and Hinas faces with his cloak.
This is new territory for Taiki, who claps back at his classmates with uncharacteristic anger.

But Taiki cant quite verbalize why thats not theonlyreason hes upset.
A post-play chat with Kyou over a mini festival feast lays it out for Taiki.
Shes come to drop some of her stuff off since shes moving back in with Taiki and his family.

Taiki wants to know whatIwant to know: How did she feel about it?
Did Hina get to her to kill the rumors?
We dont know because Taiki doesnt know, but hopefully we get more from Chinatsus POV next week.

Shes even voiced by Ichinose Kana.
Still, Ayames wasnt your usual background character treatment!
