Synopsis
Shuichi starts to grow concerned about Yoshino, who has been spacing out recently. While writing his screenplay, Maho's colleague, Anna Suehiro, teases him to the point of making him cry. Meanwhile, Yoshino meets up with her transsexual adult friend Yuki. While at Shuichi's house, Saori comments to him about how his screenplay represents him wanting to be a girl loving a male Yoshino. The next day, Yoshino and Shuichi go out shopping for clothes, where he asks her to play Romeo in the play so she can see him as a girl. She accepts the role, but did not interpret it as Shuichi conveying his feelings for her. Meanwhile, Anna decides to buy Shuichi a phone strap, although he is not sure what she means by it. The next day at school, the teacher suggests that volunteers help Shuichi and Saori with their script, which aggravates Saori. When Saori invites Shuichi over afterwards, he states that despite being turned down by Yoshino, he still wants to become a girl for his own sake. Saori, who still has feelings for Shuichi, asks that he does not mention Yoshino in front of her again.
