On the Kazuki side definitely everyone has gotten screwed over here. Asuka really does care about Kazuki who just sees her as a good friend that has helped him really step up in terms of soccer. She has that outburst with Eriko which is understandable since she cares about Kazuki and doesn’t want to see him get hurt. But now we’re definitely going to see the guy being pretty depressed and Asuka will probably feel guilty since good intentions or not she did push Eriko into letting go.

Eriko of course is just in a rough spot since she doesn’t know her feelings all that well. Building a friendship with Kazuki as we could see was slowly happening. Then seeing him with Asuka and jealousy coming into it. Looks like she really is alone most of the time so of course won’t be that skilled in a relationship area yet. Then hearing from Asuka and taking in on a mental level that she is doing harm to Kazuki. So she goes to try and let go of him even though she does have feelings for him. So she’s going to be in a rough place as well.

Poor Kazuki also. Guy has spent days looking obsessively at that phone waiting for her call. He really does care about Eriko and has learned some things about her along the way. Had clearly been planning a conversation for a while with how he went right into it when she called. But know the relationship has essentially been canned. So being depressed is the only prediction I can have about him. How would he react if he found out Asuka talked to Eriko about it?

A lot of characters having a rough situation right now. Really looking forward to how things are addressed.
