In ‘Hydrangea And A New Seed,’ Yuu is stunned to hear Himari has joined a Tokyo talent agency and confronts her, leading to a struggle where her necklace breaks. Himari accuses him of favoring Rion. Shinji tells Yuu to decide who matters most.

Hibari reveals that Himari’s stunt was fake and reminds her of the past deal he made to help Yuu succeed. Feeling guilty, Himari plans to apologize, but Yuu surprises her by offering to move in with her. She backs out, and he gives her a ring, secretly holding a purple tulip seed.
