Arata's plan is slowly falling apart. But what is he willing to do, to placate Shinju? How can he convince her he's willing to help her in her fight? Even if he doesn't believe in that fight?
And man, those creeps leering at Shinju never fail to anger me. Some people really do that in real life, and it makes me so sad.
The mother is a bit suspicious, and I'm definitely suspecting it was her who leaked the info.
