I swear this entire manga is just the author's attempt at ripping off the NTR hentai story "Bug", whose plot is almost 1 to 1 what you just described.Someone on the translator's discord said the card that was dropped was from the clinic where Shizuku had this magical surgery that didn't give her any scars and allowed her to walk around and make out with Takt with zero problems. The consensus is that Riku will use this card to show up to the clinic soon (perhaps right after Takt ran away so he can conveniently run into a naked Shizuku and despair some more).
But yeah, let's talk about this surgery she just had. She mentions Takt and her mother are making it more serious than it is but she also had to be put under for it. I swear to God if the author says it was something bullshit like a root canal I'm going to lose it.
This one person on the discord can read Spanish so they are usually far ahead of the curve on everything and they are the one that thinks Shizuku and her mom have mental illnesses which I don't buy. They also said based on the translation from the past few chapters, including the recently released 66, it's apparent that Takt is 100% gay and in love with Riku, has always hated Shizuku and apparently asked her out to prevent her from dating Riku.
Honestly, I think the Takt being gay is sloppy writing. I mentioned on the discord that based on what we see in ch 66, I wonder if it's less Takt is gay and it's more that Riku is the first person in his life that seems to care for Takt so Takt has latched onto Riku as a lifeline of sorts. He loves Riku but not romantically. He's possessive of Riku which is why he swoops in and steals any girl that shows interest in Riku so that Takt becomes Riku's only outlet. The reason he's crying in this chapter is that he knows Shizuku loves Riku romantically and he knows Riku feels the same and he feels bad about what he's doing because he knows it'll hurt Riku.
Also, typing the Spanish into Google, I was able to ascertain that in Chapter 66 Takt is shown at 8 years old and it's mentioned that he's the youngest of three brothers and he's regularly beaten and locked up in a dark room for reasons that haven't been revealed yet (and could very well be because he's gay). He finally has enough and runs away and that's when he meets Riku for the first time. Riku is the first person in Takt's life that shows him any sort of kindness. It's easy to say that what Takt feels for him is romantic love but I saw it more as holding onto the one thing that was good in your life. It's more obsessive/possessive than romantic.
