Friendless.
Episode Description:
Yuiko makes strawberry jam for Ritsuka, but her classmates bully her and the jar drops out the window. Ritsuka enters and stands up for Yuiko, frustrating Yayoi because he was trying to help Yuiko but got no recognition. Angry that Soubi refuses to tell him anything, Ritsuka orders him to take a picture of a nearly extinct mountain cat. Yuiko tells the teacher that she loves Ritsuka, and the Breathless duo meet Ritsuka again and advise him to part with Soubi, but also don't give him any information regarding his brother. Ritsuka goes back home to find Soubi waiting with several pictures of the mountain cat, and it is hinted that Ritsuka's mother is beating him.
