Plot

Yuki and Itsuomi are still alone in the laundry room. After his laundry was done, she thinks that he will have to go home now. Itsuomi asks her if she has a curfew. Seeing that there is still time, they continue practicing sign language.

On the way home, Yuki asks Itsuomi if the girl who came to the bar was his girlfriend. Itsuomi touches her cheek to get her attention, and confirms that she is only his friend, and that he doesn´t have a girlfriend. He touches her chin and asked her about the boy the other day who signed with Yuki all friendly, but she tells him that they are just childhood friends. Oshi started studying sign language because of his older sister, who was studying him, and his first sign was "idiot." Itsuomi changes the topic by talking about the snow, and that Yuki looks like a "Yukinko", which is a snow spirit, and if he can call her that, although he retracts and says that he likes "Yuki", making Yuki believe that he is talking about the snow, because her name means "Snow."

After that, Yuki gathers the courage to ask Itsuomi when they can meet again. Itsuomi tells her that the bar closes on Thursday, and accompanies her home.

That night Yuki, while looking at Itsuomi's coin, receives a message from Rin commenting that she is going to accompany Kyôya shopping on Thursday, and asking her to come with Itsuomi to be calmer, so Yuki asks Itsuomi.

Meanwhile, when Itsuomi arrives home, Emma was waiting for him at the entrance to his apartment, bringing alcohol to drink together. Emma tries to flirt with Itsuomi, but he rejects her, leaving her a spare key to lock when he leaves.

Emma stops Itsuomi and reproaches her that her presence bothers him. When he doesn't answer her, she yells at him that she has come for him, but Itsuomi tells him not to make a scene in front of her house, as it will bother the neighbors.

Emma ends up drinking alone at Itsuomi's house, and she sees the sign language notebook.

Itsuomi, not wanting to stay at home, goes to his cousin's house, who imagines what has happened. While watching a movie in English, Kyôya sees him practicing signs, and asks him why he does it, because it isn't like the English that he can use globally. At that moment, Itsuomi receives a message from Yuki asking if he is going shopping.

That Thursday, Yuki goes to Rin's house by train, meeting Ôshi. He begins to question her, bothering Yuki, and lying to her by telling her that she is going to the library.

Yuki waits for the train to meet Itsuomi. Ôshi happens to see her at the platform and boards the train along with her. He chomps Yuki on the head when sits down in the train. She ignores him, and he sits next to her, touching her hair and ends up leaning on Yuki's shoulder, She pushes him away from her. At that moment, Yuki's cell phone vibrates due to the arrival of a message from Itsuomi, who is waiting for her at her turnstiles. Yuki runs off the train happily after seeing the message with Ôshi chasing her. When passing the turnstiles, Itsuomi finds her and grabs her.

At that moment, Ôshi yells at her, but she doesn't realize it until Itsuomi tells Yuki, although she looks at him, she turns away, ignoring him. Ôshi sees Itsuomi with Yuki and put his arm on top of her, preventing her from seeing the conversation. Ôshi reproaches him for doing that, because she can't hear the conversation, but Itsuomi replies that Yuki told him that it's okay if he does it.
