Shitsuren Karuta Episode 8

When Ayase rushes into the hospital room, the moment she sees Hikaru with a bandage wrapped around his head and Chinami teasing him about it, a flood of emotions overwhelms her and she can’t stop crying. And finally, she decides to confess the feelings she has kept hidden for Hikaru for the past seven years. Even though she knows Shibuya is married, Chinami can’t bring herself to leave him. The more she leans on his kindness and keeps pretending not to notice reality, the more worn down her heart becomes. Then, on the way to a hot spring trip, the instant she sees the glittering ocean, Chinami suddenly acts on an impulse no one expected. Meanwhile, in the room where Riku’s belongings have disappeared, Hikaru quietly cleans up the ashtray left behind on the balcony. After going through their own heartbreaks, the three of them once again gather at Ayase’s family home like always. Only one verse remains in the “Heartbreak Karuta.” (Source: Japanese = MBS || Translation = MyDramaList)
