Initially, Kyotaro had delusions of killing Anna and making her corpse his alone, but they were replaced by romantic affection as he spends more time around her. He can be quite perceptive in social situations but often fails to pick up on other social problems due to his lack of communication skills and low self-esteem. Aside from his macabre interests, he's also a fan of manga and anime such as Baki, Beastars and Re:Zero. In the latter case he keeps the character Rem as the profile image for his Line account.

Kyotaro meets Anna walking her dog and considers giving her a souvenir dog keychain he bought for her but decides against it. While playing with her dog, Anna holds his hand again. She confesses that she wanted to give him her muffler as a gift, so he gives her the keychain, surprising him at how happy she becomes. She arranges to see him during New Year shrine visits. Kyotaro randomly encounters several classmates on New Years night, including Anna’s friend Moeko, and Haruya who pressures Kyotaro for Anna’s Line. To protect Anna, Kyotaro refuses. Impressed, Moeko gets him to leave with her and teases Kyotaro into admitting he loves Anna, though she also points out it has been obvious for some time, embarrassing him. Upon realizing that he confessed out loud, Kyotaro calls Anna at midnight to just hear her voice and wish her a happy New Year. He decides he will have to tell Anna how he feels very soon. | ||||||

Due to Anna arriving early, Kyotaro ends up meeting her at the shrine with Kana and his parents. Kana points out to Kyotaro that Anna is clearly dressed for a date, before realising it was him she had come to meet. As his arm is broken, Kyotaro cannot clap during prayers so Anna helps using her own hand, flustering him. Kana invites Anna to their house to see Kyotaro’s childhood photo’s and Anna notices he had two friends, though Kyotaro bitterly reveals they left to attend different private middle schools. Kana leaves them alone but thanks Anna for being Kyotaro’s friend. Anna insists on looking at more photos but he panics when she finds a magazine of her pictures and as he jumps to hide it ends up fully on top of her. They are both embarrassed, but Anna isn’t upset and instead takes copies of his photos, promising he can see her photos next time. Kyotaro is confused as it sounded like she wants him to visit her house. Flashbacks show Kyotaro lost his friends because his grades weren’t good enough to attend the same school. Seeing Anna at school the next day he is compelled to tell her she is why he could enjoy going to school again. Anna insists it was ultimately his own efforts and changes that made school better for him, causing him pause. She hugs him and he hugs her back. Moeko spots them being awkward afterwards and mistakenly assumes they have “done it.” |
