Sana and Akito are in the middle of yet another argument when their class is assigned to create a play about love. The students are asked to write a skit that explores the theme of love, and while most of the class is excited by the challenge, Sana and Akito are less than thrilled.
As they try to work together, Sana and Akito continue to bicker and snipe at each other, with neither of them willing to let the other have the upper hand. They argue about the plot, the characters, and even the costumes, until their teacher finally intervenes and forces them to work together.
Despite their differences, Sana and Akito manage to come up with a play that is surprisingly touching and heartfelt. They write about a couple whose love slowly fades away, until one day they wake up and realize that it's gone.
The play resonates with the class, and they all agree that it's one of the best they've seen. But as Sana and Akito take their final bow, they realize that their own relationship might be in danger of slipping away just like the couple in their play.
As they head home, Sana is lost in thought, wondering if Akito truly hates her as much as he seems to. She wonders if there will ever be a time when they can work together without fighting, or if they're destined to be at each other's throats forever.
Meanwhile, Akito is struggling with his own feelings. He knows that he and Sana are more alike than they care to admit, but he can't help but feel like she's always trying to one-up him. He wonders if they'll ever be able to get along, or if their rivalry will always get in the way.
As the episode draws to a close, Sana and Akito find themselves alone together on the same train. They're both lost in thought, unsure of what to say to each other. But as they sit in silence, something shifts between them.
For a moment, they let their guard down and allow themselves to be vulnerable. They talk about their fears and their frustrations, and Sana admits that she's tired of fighting with him all the time.
Akito is taken aback by her honesty, but he can't help but feel a sense of relief. For once, they're not at each other's throats. For once, they're just two people on the same train, trying to figure out where they're going.
As the train pulls into the station, Sana and Akito exchange a small smile. They're not sure what the future holds, but for the first time in a long time, they're willing to find out together.
