S01E12 You're Creepy

A few days after their flower viewing outing, Ichika is feeling uneasy due to the silence from Ryo. Seeking advice, she confides in Rio, who suggests that Ichika reach out to Ryo herself. Though hesitant, Ichika takes Rio's words to heart, while Rio expresses her sympathy for her brother, noting Ichika’s indecision about her feelings for Ryo. Summoning her bravery, Ichika finally calls Ryo, but he informs her that he's tied up with work and won't be available for a while, as if he’s deliberately putting space between them.
