Mayuko is starting to see difference between her delusions and reality each time they've together, but on other hand Makoto absence is making her depressed and out of "control".
Makoto inferiorly complex again, sure in cut throat business is hard to surface, but given the circumstances similarities of real life and the one-shot his work wasn't bad but overlooked. He still did a good job, now it's only to let Mayuko to read it.
Even Shoya and Morita cheer him on, despite his belief they drunk in their own success.
And of course Mayuko seen the news, remembered Makoto Kawarazaki as someone she used to know. Think she will start to judge Makoto now.
Thanks for scanlation!
