Huh.
I kinda assumed the "going away party" would end with at least a few of them (more likely all of them) getting drunk and something happening between at least one of them and Hiromi and Nonoka walking in on the immediate aftermath (catching him in bed with one of them, type thing).
Did not expect her ex-fiance literally creeping out of the bushes to ambush her like this. Is this a signal that she's about to get Cold Feet and not follow through with her plans to move in with Hiromi? That'd honestly be more than a little shitty, but I'm betting she still has Anju's words bouncing around in her head, and this guy is the one that she could 'mother' for in a relationship, which seems to be her thing, even if she griped about it.
I'm convinced that Hiromi and Nonoka aren't ending up together, so that's the lens I'm interpreting through. But either way it will be interesting to see how exactly it all shakes out.
