Okay, Blink
While walking back to Shinichirō's house, Hiromi tells him about her crush on Noe's brother, which hurts Shinichirō. The next day, he leaves early in order to avoid Hiromi. Later, Aiko approaches him while he is resting on the seawall, and she eventually persuades him to go shopping with her. At lunch, Shinichirō tells Aiko about her giving him false hope in his relationship with Hiromi. Aiko tries to cheer Shinichirō up, but to no avail. When he goes home, Hiromi asks Shinichirō if he is avoiding her because of what happened, and Shinichirō replies in a way that hurts them both. The following day, Noe drags Shinichirō around town and explains why she is gathering tears, and in the process manages to cheer Shinichirō up. In the morning, Shinichirō apologizes to Hiromi for the events of the previous day. Concentrating on the apology, he accidentally uses face wash instead of toothpaste when brushing his teeth; Hiromi and Shinichirō both laugh at this. Shinichirō is happy he was able to make her laugh. As he is walking out of his house, Noe's brother is waiting for Shinichirō and introduces himself as Jun Isurugi. They exchange greetings, and Shinichirō is stunned when Jun asks him to go out with Noe.

True Tears
Shinichiro is a student living in what would be a dream come true for most high school boys, but for him is mostly a frustration. A well liked girl in school named Hiromi has lived in his house for a year along with his family. Her father was a close friend of the family, and when he died they immediately took her in. She is popular and well liked, always smiles, is talented in sports- but Shinichiro knows there must be tears inside her. Having an artistic tendency, he makes watercolours of her and thinks about wishing to ease her tears. Yet he cannot bring up the nerve to talk to her even in his own home. She, too, is quiet and withdrawn in their house, quite unlike at school. Shinichiro is also distracted by teasing from his friend Nobuse for watching Hiromi from afar, a curse of bad luck from a strange girl named Noe, and being forced to perform Muhiga dancing. By helping Noe he hopes to ease his own problems, yet he seems to have difficulty helping himself.
