However, theres no true escape for him, because Yamada already saw him.
That gives Ichikawa the courage to say he followed her to karaoke becausehegot worked up.
Because its White Day and Ichikawa doesnt have a gift, Hara helps shop for something appropriate.
He even goes so far as to declare Yamada is mine!
which Yamada overhears, and her face instantly turns radioactive.
She qualifies it by saying shes talking about Hara and Kanzaki, but shes fooling precisely no one.
Then she asks what they should do next, Ichikawa retreats and says they should just go home.
Hes stuck in the feedback loop of constantly comparing himself unfavorably to others like Kanzaki.
He decides then and there to stop thinking about all that, and think about Yamada instead.
Bully for him for recognizing the difference, and offering her a comforting arm.
Just like he said in his ad-libbed speech, he has seen the lightand it is glorious.
There are only six episodes left.
It doesnt feel like enough.
I want a third season, one in which these two are an established couple.
