Plot

The next morning, Yuki and Itsuomi go to class. Yuki is thinking about what happened the previous night. After Itsuomi's proposal, she sees how he thinks and mutters something.

What Itsuomi was thinking about was talking to Oushi first. Itsuomi tells Yuki that, when he isn't drunk, they should talk about it more.

After watching a movie in the lounge, they fall asleep.

Returning to the present, Itsuomi begins to poke Yuki. Three of Itsuomi's companions appear (two girls and a boy). They turn out to be the same ones he partied with. When they see Yuki, they ask who she is and start talking to each other about what happened yesterday. Itsuomi notices that Yuki is lost, and begins to interpret the conversation. The classmates ask Yuki about Itsuomi, but she doesn't answer as she has not seen them talk. Itsuomi interprets her again, and tells them that she is deaf.

Although his classmates comment that it is hard, they don't say it in a bad way, but Itsuomi answers that it is not hard for him. Yuki smiles and makes the sign "Hello." Itsuomi offers to interpret for her. Yuki feels happy, because Itsuomi has built a communication bridge.

After Yuki asks for the three's names, Kitazaki, the only boy, asks Yuki what he likes about Itsuomi. Then Itsuomi stops Yuki from signing, and tells him to tell him when they are alone.

After that, Yuki and Itsuomi continue on their way. Itsuomi asks Yuki for permission to meet her parents, regardless of whether or not they are going to live together, since he also wants to introduce himself to her parents.

Meanwhile, Oushi wakes up at his friend Mitoki's house. The night before he got drunk talking about Yuki with tears in his eyes and it seems like he fainted. Mitoki offers to help him win over Yuki, with the operation "How to get Snow White away from the prince charming."

Back at the university, Yuki tells Rin about Itsuomi's proposal. Rin then tells her that she is dating Kyôya and that they are going to live together. Yuki is very happy for Rin.

Rin asks Yuki about living with Itsuomi, and Yuki starts to think about it. Just then, Rin notices that Yuki's pen had fallen and she picks it up. Yuki reflects on the things she misses when she doesn't see, and that one day she will be a burden to him.

At that moment, Itsuomi is calling someone on the phone...
