THE CONFESSIONAfter Sena discloses he can't be "just friends" with her anymore, Aoi has no idea how to act around him, and a class hangout makes things even more awkward between the two. Being around her classmates outside of school gives Aoi the opportunity to see yet another new side of Sena, though--one that makes her heart race like never before.

THE NEXT STEPAfter confessing her feelings to Sena, Aoi was shocked and elated to have them reciprocated in kind. The biggest hurdle--getting Itsuki on board with their relationship--has been cleared, and Aoi finds her feelings for Sena deepening day by day. Though Aoi isn't ready to make the relationship public just yet, maybe an actual first date will boost her confidence. However, it seems rumors about Sena's "girlfriend" are already making the rounds at school!
