Being Prepared to Be Hurt (S01E10)

Arie confesses to Ryo that despite knowing he has feelings for someone else, she’s determined to win his affection. Ryo reflects on the idea that dating Arie would be socially acceptable, but pursuing Ichika might pose challenges due to their age difference, causing him to second-guess his feelings. Meanwhile, Masuda, who is hanging out with Ryo at his apartment, urges him to stop being self-centered and strive to be a better person. Just then, Ryo's father comes back home, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.
