Plot[]
Tsukasa Domyoji walks up to Tsukushi Makino, while talking to her on the phone. He comments that he was going to her job when a "weird girl caught [his] eye." They head to a park, where they are surrounded by lovey-dovey couples. Tsukushi apologizes for the previous day, though she adds "You really didn't have to say 'There's no telling what you're doing behind my back.'" Tsukasa reminds her that she has never said that she loves him. Tsukushi realizes that "everything [is] black or white with him."
Tsukasa receives a call from Akira Mimasaka, inviting him and Tsukushi to a party at his house. She decides to go after learning Yuki Matsuoka was invited. Tsukushi and Tsukasa arrive separately. There she finds Sojiro Nishikado helping Yuki tie her kimono, causing her some concern. He helps Tsukushi with her kimono next. She asks him questions about his home life, including about his family and future. He finishes tying just before she can tell him "Please don't hurt Yuki," leaving the words unsaid.
Tsukushi attempts to "act natural" around Tsukasa. Akira encourages him to give Tsukushi a drink. Tsukasa walks up to her and says "Fine feathers make fine ducks," referring to her kimono. Tsukushi yells "It's 'Fine feathers make find birds.'" Their friends smile, happy to see them acting normally. Later on, after several drinks, Tsukushi wanders into the garden and finds Tsukasa. Seeing that they are alone, she decides to tell him her feelings. Just as she is going to say it, they overhear Yuki say "I like you" to Sojiro.
