I KNEW IT! I'VE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR YUKINO AND ARIMA. (see chapter 81).

Bonus is a Tsuda diary.

79. ACT79 プレリュード (Prelude): Yukino is spending some time with Arima at their summer house. They discover some old Jazz records and from the expression on his dad's face, Arima knows they belong to his father. Yukino asks about his dad, but there's not much known about him. They go into another house where they see the piano and Arima remembers more. Meanwhile, Maho meets up with his boyfriend in NY and decide to attend a Reiji Arima piano concert.

80. ACT80 ピアニスト (Pianist): Yuusuke explains to Maho about why Reiji has become an underground cult favorite. After coming back from the house with the piano, they listen to the radio and Reiji's being introduced. Upon just hearing this tune, Arima's (current) dad knows that it's his brother.

81. ACT 81 コンサート (Concert): Yukino's pregnant [!@#(*!]. It just so happens that Yuusuke and Maho meet up with Tsubasa and Kazuma going to the same concert. At the concert, Kazuma suddenly breaks out singing. This gets them into the backroom with Reiji after the concert and which time Tsubasa asks if he knows the boy she has a picture of on her cell phone. He tells him that it's his son.

82. ACT82 テンペスト (Tempest): Reiji is going to pay a visit to Arima. Yukino has been going to Arima's place almost everyday as she doesn't want the same thing to happen that with his biological mom. She bumps into him outside Arima's house and at first, she thinks he's Arima. Arima's current dad comes out and gives Reiji a slap. Reiji goes away, but then accosts Yukino and Arima again, this time having Arima join him on a bike ride and convincing him to do it at gunpoint.

83. ACT83 A BOY AND A MAN: Reiji takes his son around town, dumping his motorcycle in the ocean as they're being followed by the police after his little gun act. He promises this will be the last time they meet. In the hotel, Arima somehow is now uncertain about his feelings for his dad.
