At the end of episode 2, we see how Sousuke asked Michiru the reason she was late for home after the match. Apparently, i sense some air of pure JEALOUSY coming from Sousuke.

Episode 3, after the confrontation between Michiru,Sousuke and Ruka...

we see Ruka trying to discuss with Michiru about Sousuke.

But Michiru told her that she had never been loved before,not by her mother, not by her useless father, no one and Sousuke was the first to ever really care and love her. That said, Ruka became frustrated and left abruptly. Because, there wasn't any point to argue with Michiru anymore the fact that she said nobody had ever loved her. I don't know if Michiru is blind or what...can't she even sense that Ruka does care very much for her?! Maybe coz Michiru never thought that Ruka had developed feelings for her.



We see Sousuke hitting her again after she slipped her tongue and said she cut a man's hair at the salon.
Takeru moving in to the sharehouse and being greeted by the members of the house.

Ruka and Takeru sharing the same type of cups, different color.

Ruka and Michiru sharing a moment together...This scene is beautiful. I mean, two best friends together talking about life. Different backgrounds. Ruka has a great loving supportive family behind her back while Michiru's is like the total opposite. I feel sorry for Ruka when she said sth like, " when you're watching from the sidelines, you don't know everything. happiness is different for everyone." she's obviously trying to tell Michiru that her current boyfriend is a bastard and she should dump him. But she didn't tell her straight to her face. And i like how she used a different approach.

But ah, Michiru never learnt from her stupid mistake.
Again, suspense right at the end of the episode.
