Episode 9 is a quiet but beautiful episode filled with the warmth of summer.
After agreeing to remain "just friends," Kou2 accepts Kou1's answer even though it hurts. Being close as friends is still better than being apart. That quiet decision says everything about how deeply he cares.
What I loved most was Kou1's gradual change. He still doesn't fully understand his own feelings, but simply having Kou2 beside him makes him feel happy and complete. Sometimes love arrives long before we find the words to describe it.
The group trip perfectly captures the feeling of a high school summer vacation—the last carefree summer before everyone starts thinking about the future. Watching them laugh together made me wish this season would never end.
One of my favorite little details is the way Kou1 calls Kou2's name. His voice has carried a special warmth for quite some time, even if he hasn't realized it himself.
A gentle, heartwarming episode that quietly prepares us for the emotional storm that may be waiting ahead.
