episode 9: forget me not

Renji continues to stay with Chihiro despite the pain he feels and manages to smile when around her. With Chihiro having now forgotten everything from the past 4 years, it is now up to her to regain the memories she lost, by re-reading her diary. Chihiro re-reads her diary three times and eventually comes to act like the person described in her diary, but she thinks that person is already dead. After hearing this, Renji vents his frustration and continuously repeats that this is not true. Even by reading her diary, Renji wonders if she would be the same Chihiro that he loves.

Meanwhile Hiro goes to meet Miyako, by the phone booth, after not seeing each other for some time. They go for a walk down the beach, where both of them convey their feelings to each other. They kiss on the beach. Hiro takes her back to his place. The following morning, Kei finds Miyako in Hiro's bed, which causes her to run away in tears, eventually collapsing on the road as Kyosuke rushes up to her with his bike.
