Sakura, Saku 32 *SPOILERS*
It's Raining
It's after school and Saku looks out the window, seeing the rain pouring down. Haruki approaches her and asks if she's going home, and if she has an umbrella. She answers that she's waiting for Kotono to go back together, so Haruki starts to leave.
Saku goes to check on Kotono, but Kotono isn't done yet. Kotono tells Saku not to wait for her anymore, since Saku still has her part-time job to go to. Hence, Saku says that she will leave first.
At the door of the school building, Saku finds Haruki still standing there. Someone had mistakenly taken Haruki's umbrella, so he doesn't have an umbrella now. They end up sharing Saku's umbrella.
Iryuu sees them leaving the school together.
Under the Umbrella
Haruki and Saku are walking together and they banter a little about holding the umbrella properly. Haruki laughs and Saku thinks to herself that Haruki seems to have changed.
Haruki also begins to tell Saku about what happened between him and Hazuki, but Saku thinks to herself that she doesn't want to hear about it.
Just then, Kotono appears behind them. Saku goes under Kotono's umbrella and tells Haruki to continue using hers. Saku also hastily says that she's going to be late for her part-time job, so she pulls Kotono away, leaving Haruki alone.
Kotono and Saku
Saku tells Kotono about what she thinks of Haruki and Hazuki's relationship, but Kotono doesn't respond. Saku then apologizes to Kotono for involving her in the issue.
Kotono tells Saku that she doesn't mind walking with her to her part-time job, but she's unhappy with the current Saku. She tells Saku that Saku claims to be doing everything for Haruki's sake, but in truth, Saku is just doing everything for herself.
Saku is stunned and doesn't know what to say. However, they are interrupted by Iryuu, who has appeared behind them. He tells them that the rain has already stopped.
Iryuu pulls Saku away to go to their part-time job together. Saku can't stop thinking about how mad Kotono looked.
Saku's Thoughts
Business is slow at the cafe, so Iryuu tells Saku to go and take a break.
In the break room, Saku mulls over the things Kotono said to her and reflects on her actions and thoughts. She realizes that she was just afraid of getting hurt and didn't realize her true feelings.
Saku gets a text from Haruki asking if she's going to be fine getting home, since he's holding on to her umbrella. She calls him and asks to meet him.
Saku also texts Kotono to tell her that she understands what Kotono was saying and thanks her. Saku tells Iryuu that it's his turn to take a break, and Iryuu notices a change in Saku.
Meeting Up
We see Haruki putting on his shoes at home to head out. He's also bringing Saku's umbrella.
Saku has also ended work and is heading to their meeting place. She sees Haruki's text saying that he's arrived.
However, when she reaches the meeting place, she sees Iryuu.
