Sae is a master manipulator, and her latest scheme involves manipulating Kairi to get closer to Momo. She knows that Kairi has feelings for Momo and decides to use that to her advantage. Meanwhile, Momo is caught in a web of mixed emotions as she struggles to come to terms with her own feelings for Kairi.
As the episode begins, a storm is brewing both literally and figuratively. The dark clouds mirror the turbulent emotions that are about to unleash themselves upon our characters. Rain pelts down heavily, creating an atmosphere of tension and unease.
Momo finds herself in a conflicted state. She can't deny the chemistry and connection she shares with Kairi, but she is still unsure about taking the leap into a romantic relationship with him. Her heart is torn between the familiarity and comfort of Toji, her long-time crush, and the excitement and passion that Kairi represents.
Kairi, on the other hand, is blinded by his own infatuation for Momo. He believes that pursuing her is the key to his happiness and is willing to do anything to win her over. Unbeknownst to him, Sae is orchestrating this entire situation, manipulating his emotions to draw him closer to Momo.
Sae's plan unfolds as she approaches Kairi during a tense encounter in the rain. With her manipulative charm, she convinces him that the only way to truly be with Momo is to make her jealous, to make her realize what she's missing out on. Kairi, longing for Momo's affection, falls right into Sae's trap.
As Momo witnesses Kairi and Sae together, a storm of emotions ravages her heart. Jealousy, doubt, and confusion consume her, leaving her vulnerable and unable to make sense of her own feelings. The rain pouring down around her mirrors her tears and inner turmoil.
Throughout the episode, Sae continues to play puppeteer, pulling the strings and watching as her plan unfolds. Her manipulative nature shines through as she takes delight in the chaos she has created. However, a glimmer of guilt flickers within her, hinting at the possibility that maybe she isn't as heartless as she seems.
As the storm rages on, both literally and figuratively, the characters find themselves seeking solace and comfort in unexpected places. Momo seeks guidance from her best friend Kiley, who offers a listening ear and a fresh perspective. Kiley's wisdom and level-headedness provide Momo with a much-needed sense of clarity amidst the chaos.
Meanwhile, Kairi's loyalty to Momo is tested as Sae's true intentions begin to unravel. He starts to question his own actions and realizes that he may have been played by someone he trusted. Determined to make things right, he confronts Sae, setting the stage for a dramatic showdown.
