Arima has some emotional issues. Yes, we already knew that. Please stop dwelling on it for so long.

59. ACT59 そして時は流れ (And Then, Time Passes): Kano, a freshman, introduces her sister Yukino along with her friends. The seniors then talk about what they're going to do after graduation. Arima and Maho are planning on med school, Rika in the garment industry, Aya take a break from work to go to college, Tsubasa aspires to be Kazuma's wife, and Tsubaki and Takefumi will skip college.

60. ACT60 "I": Arima is pretty popular among the girls, even those at other high schools. He scores pretty high in the national prep exams, much to Yukino's jealously. He also does an television interview with a news program for his accomplishments in the inter-high school competition. He later tells Yukino that his true self is when he's with her, not when he's on TV.

61. ACT61 Perfect World: Everyone's proud of Arima, especially his parents. Classmates are even honored to receive his broken mechanical pencils. However, as he's talking to Yukino, he remembers his abused childhood. When he unexpected arrives at a relative's wedding, he boasts a bit to his cousins who used to abuse him.

62. 足音 (Footsteps): Arima's parents ask whether he wants to be a doctor because he feels obligated to or whether he wants to as it's a serious decision. His cousins arrive at school to try and apologize to him, but Arima doesn't accept and they leave sneering. At the Miyazawa house, he arrives and the father tells him that he's gonna record the interview when it's aired. Arima takes note that Pero Pero is a huge dog now.

63. 君を離れ (Separating You): Arima and Yukino play hooky, Arima has issues again and is afraid to tell Yukino. The interview airs and some lady claims Arima is her child.
