Plot
Rena suggests that since she and Kazuomi got their ears pierced together, it would be nice to go shopping for a set of matching earrings. However, Kazuomi does not want to remove the one he has, refusing to tell her why. Starting to get confrontational from irritation and jealousy, Rena wonders if Kazuomi actually got the earrings from Mari instead of his brother, and if he works so much so he can spend time with her, revealing she saw him together with Mari when she was returning from shopping with Chizuru and Honoka.

Hearing that Rena went out to have fun with Chizuru and Honoka makes Kazuomi feel gloomy, but he tells her he consulted Mari about his university choice. However, Rena confronts him for never talking about it with her, questioning his reasons for not trusting her, but stops as Kazuomi yells that he does not know what university he is going to. As he once again refuses Rena's suggestion to talk about it over dinner because he has to eat at home, she reaches her limit and lashes out at his apparent mother complex. However, Kazuomi tells her his mother won't be home, and runs into the rain leaving Rena behind. Devastated for having unknowingly hurt him, Rena drops her umbrella and bursts into tears.
