Episode Title:
Distant Thunder.
Episode Description:
Koshiro is burdened and angry over his guilt at sniffing Nanoka's bra. He is shocked to find that Nanoka has emptied the trashcan in his room while doing the chores. He shouts at her for invading his privacy, though she does not know that the trashcan contained soiled tissues from the previous night. That night, as he returns home from drinking with Kaname at the bar, Koshiro accidentally drops and breaks Nanoka's rice bowl when she surprises him while he was remembering sniffing her bra. The next day at work, Kaname informs Koshiro that it is Nanoka's birthday, asking him to meet Nanoka at the train station with an umbrella. He rushes off, hoping that he can make amends for his bad behavior. He buys Nanoka flowers and apologizes. After he promises to buy her anything she wants for a birthday present, she picks out a new rice bowl for herself. Walking home, she has forgiven him and cleared things up to her satisfaction. He, on the other hand, wonders how things ended up like this, thinking "Wasn't I going to make everything right?"
